Monroe is 22 August 2009 Update ----------------------- The software comes with new airport express much more user friendly-friendly. Maybe you by taking the following steps are necessary. Regards, S. Monroe --------------------------------------------- ---- ---------- CD-ROM included with the Airport Express is useless for me to a Windows XP computer to start to work with AE. The following instructions should help you get started. 1st First download the latest version of both the Airport Update and Airport Express Firmware Updater from [...] second running the latest version of the AirPort Update (4.1 at the time of writing) 3. Turn off your firewalls, plug the Airport Express (AX) to a power outlet and connect to your computer or router with an Ethernet cable. AX is a solid or flashing amber light. 4th Start the AirPort Admin Utility .. It should detect the Airport Express in "Base Station Chooser" within a minute or so, and the light on the AX should turn green. You may need to hard reset the unit a few times by pressing the little reset button with a paperclip for about 10 seconds. If, as mine does not appear in the AirPort Admin Utility leave the AX connected via ethernet and reboot, launch the AirPort Admin Utility, and I hope that will be displayed in a hurry. 5th As soon as it has recently launched AirPort Express Firmware Updater (I used 6.1.1) and update the AX ... seemed to make a significant difference in the ease of detection later. It will take a minute or so. The AX is reset and you may have to leave it attached via Ethernet, restart and re-launch the AirPort Admin Utility to register again. 6th Once discovered by the AirPort Admin Utility, click on "Configure" button at the bottom right. 7th A new series of cards pop up. Click on the "Airport" and select "Create a wireless network" in the vicinity of the airport network is down, this will be changed to "Join a wireless network" later. 8th Click on "Network" and check the "IP addresses", select the "a shared IP address", and fall range of IP addresses in the drop down list to the IP range of the router (192.168.xx being the most common Dlink, Linksys, Netgear and other non-Apple router). 9th Back to "Airport" tab and change the "Create a wireless network" to "With an existing wireless network." 10th In the type "Network Name" field in the name of your wireless network (also called SSID) 11 Rename on the same page AX, which it in iTunes (often the physical location of the speaker is' AX be attached, such as bedrooms Living, ambient sound) will be called, enter a new password (required) type, and it a location. 12th If you are using security click Security, choose the encryption settings, and add the WEP key or password, etc. It can be handy to have your data security on the router open a window so you can copy and paste the button Right in the corresponding box. 13. If you go to "Network" tab you'll see that everything is gray, but now the new IP Range settings are visible. 14. With the AX still attached by EtherLink, click the "Update" button and wait a minute or two for the AX to be updated. The changes should be reflected in the AirPort Admin Utility when the update is completed. 15. Now you can launch iTunes and you should see a button in the lower right corner that says "my computer". Click this button and you will see that you have the choice of computer speakers or AX. More changes to the configuration name that appears on the button that is easier to do while you are connected via Ethernet to try to get as you want with the new AirPort Admin updates before disconnecting the cable, Ethernet, while the AirPort Admin Utility.
