Firefox Add-ons: Part Deux

I was amongst the 8 million people who set the World Record for most download in 24 hours when I downloaded Firefox 3. However, most of the add-ons that I had recommended in my previous blog 21 Firefox Add-ons to enhance your browsing experience needed to be upgraded or (more…)

iPod Touch and Airport Express?

Hi all,

I am connected online from my MacBook via a wireless network using the latest Airport Express, and I have perfect reception. Whenever I try connecting to that same network from my iPod Touch (latest version 1.1.4), it says “Unable to join the network”. Is there some kind of set-up I need to do on my network or something? I’ve searched online, on the Apple Support site, and I can’t find anything.

Please advice, thanks.

I found the solution! I hope this can help you out:

  1. Go to “Settings”.
  2. Select “Wi-Fi”.
  3. Turn on the Wi-Fi, wait a second or two for the list of networks to appear, then tap on the blue arrow of the desired network (the one that you’re “Unable to join”).

    You should now be in the desired network’s DHCP settings – all the fields (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS, Search Domains and Client ID should be empty).

  4. Scroll down the bottom of that screen, and you’ll see the “HTTP Proxy” section, which should be “Off”.
  5. Tap “Manual”, then turn the “Authentication” on, which should give you a username and password field.
  6. Enter your network’s username and password.
  7. Go back to your Wi-Fi Networks. Now try connecting to your network again, and this should do the trick.

Now, you may have different settings on your Airport Express/Extreme than I do on my Airport Express, so I can’t promise you success, but I sure hope it works for you too.

Lemme know if you know of any other way to make this work. Thanks!
