Ah that explains a lot, But what do you think of the solotion of using 2 AE's?

More expensive solution, however I imagine it'd result in fewer grey hairs ;-)

I'm using a Powerbook with Airport. I have only been able to use the internet or iTunes to remote speakers using an Airport Express. I followed the hints above, but without success.

What issues did you have with the setup?

Everything seemed to go fine until the part where after turning Internet Sharing back on the Airport Admin Utility did not recognize the Airport network that I had renamed.

Peculiar - make sure that your Airport has its IP address assigned via DHCP, and try disabling wireless security on both sides initially until you've got it working.

is it possible to use just a cheap wireless base station(non apple) to create a bridge with. I know there are third party stuff that is compatible, and if you go to comp USA, at least you can return it if it doesn't work.

My setup is quite similar to yours. I can play music from the desktop computer to the stereo using AE. I can access the internet wirelessly via the lap top using your setup suggestion.

My suggestion was to show how to do both at once - have you set your airport express up to extend your mac network?

Yes, I did. But I had the same problem as another person in this forum.

Well I've had one succesful punter, so there's obviously some grain of rightness in my tip. Was getting worried there for a moment ;-)

Make that 2 succesful readers! Tks a bunch for the post, I was tired of using my slow applescript to change from Internet Sharing to Airport whenever I wanted to listen to music in the living room! As you hinted the key for this to work is to disable all passwords (internet sharing as well as network security in Airport Admin Utility). But I was left with a totally unsecure internet wireless access point, less than an ideal solution especially if you live in a large city block as I do... After some trials and errors, I've found a solution: enable WEP 40bit both in Airport Admin and in Internet Sharing (same password obviously, mine is 13 letters long - not sure if it matters as we are talking Apple hardware only here, but I understand it may matter when you mix different wireless hardware providers). Thanks to your tip I now have: Secure (somewhat) Internet Sharing + Airtunes at the same time! PS: No other security settings worked for me (128bit etc...) but please post a message here if you have a different experience. |
