Forgive…

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It’s been a while since my last confession.. εεε εννοώ από την τελευταία φορά που ανέβασα post ;)

Επειδή οι λόγοι που με κράτησαν μακριά δεν έχουν αλλάξει, και οι καιροί όχι μόνον λιγότερο ελεύθερο χρόνο αλλά και νερό αφήνουν… προτίνω την επόμενη παρουσίαση του TED.

Αν μη τι άλλο δείχνει πως μπορεί κανείς να αλλάξει τον κόσμο αν αμφισβητήσει το κατεστημένο και προσπαθήσει να πραγματοποιήσει τις ιδέες του  :)

Και εάν το βρήκατε ενδιαφέρον, εδώ θα βρείτε μια 8 λεπτών παρουσίαση με περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες.

AirPort Express ‘renew DHCP lease’ wont work

Airport Express is an elegant Wi-Fi router from Apple. It supports 802.11n, you can create guest networks for wireless clients connecting to the internet without accessing your private network and also – the most important feature according to me – dual  802.11n on 2.4 GHz and 5GHz, which makes this Wi-Fi really great and super quick.

Now my devices can fully use the internet speed provided by my ISP, even if connected to a WiFi.

There is an issue however in the Airport Utility according to which, Airport Express won’t get a dynamic IP by DHCP or won’t renew its DHCP lease when connected to a cable modem.

The solution was found here

  1. Set the Air­port Express to be “using DHCP“
  2. Turn off the Cable Router for more than a minute — so it releases it’s DHCP leases
  3. Turn the Router back on
  4. Air­port Express will now have an IP assigned to it and will be online

Good luck

PS. If someone finds a way for me to let my (over USB connected) Canon MP540 to appear in the Airport Utilities so I can share it as network printer, please leave a comment here and a how-to. Thanks ;)
