Airport of flashing light - tried EVERYTHING... Help!

I had a work of wireless setup at home... until a few days ago. Here's the story...

Setup

Modem ARRIS of Charter. Airport Extreme Basestation (MC340LL/A). Network with Airport Express (MB321LL/A). MacPro hard wired to Airport Extreme via ethernet. The rest of the House has a wireless access (iPhones, iPads, AppleTV, iMac, MacBook Pro)... geez, we have a problem with Apple, lol!

Question

Woke up at the no internet. Not called Charter, no crashes, reset the modem and nothing has changed. This led me to focus on my network configuration. No matter what I I find myself with a flashing orange light on the airport with Airport utility, telling me that it doesn't have an IP address.

Interventions

• Reset Arris modem via the power cycle and reset button. Lights on the modem are happy, airport still flashes.

• Hard wired modem to MacPro. Huzzah! The Internet works if the modem does not seem to be the issue.

• Power cycled Airport Extreme - blinky.

• Soft reset on Airport Extreme - blinky.

• Factory reset via the Airport on Airport Extreme utility - blinky.

• Factory reset button reset and electric supply - blinky.

• Airport Extreme removed equation and tried to use the Airport Express Terminal only - blinky.

• Power cycled, soft reset, factory reset via Airport utility and factory reset button reset and connection - blinky.

• Disconnected EVERYTHING. Got the modem starts, connected charges Airport Extreme - blinky factory reset.

• Swapped cables - blinky.

Now, that's the weird part for me. The modem seems to work very well because I have access to the internet when I plug the MacPro directly into the modem. But when I use EITHER the Airport Extreme OR Express to set up a wireless network, I always find myself with the light flashing orange and not an IP address. I could see the extreme in toast OR Express being toast... but both? Seems very unlikely.

I am open to any suggestion. Charter think the question is my wireless network and Airport utility says that my ISP is looted. Thank you guys but you can not be right. I wonder if the modem is actually toasted bread. Capable of being connected to a computer but freaks when connected to the airport? I don't know, it drives me crazy, and every solution I throw at it ends just flashing back to me telling me that I have no IP address. Help, please!

What is the exact model of your Arris modem number?

When you get the orange flashing status LED, what are the exact errors that AirPort Utility has identified?

When you "power drove" do do you something like the following Tip of an airport users? Have you experienced any type of power failure or voltage?

  • Cannot display Flash video - tried everything

    I'm the webmaster in the business, and we add a Flash video on our site. I used the FLVPlayback component and publish in Flash 8, like any other time, I used the Flash video. Here's what happens:

    I can't go to open the file with the HTML file, double-click it, in IE or FF, and I see the video (example: file:///D:/test/page.html). If I try to send the link out by specifying a path http:// to the test server (example: http://home.mysite.com/test/page.html) -just as I do for all other web pages to test which must be reviewed by other government departments - PERSON can see the player or the video, no not even me or the network administrator. Just a white box where would the .swf.

    We have updated all the player, but no luck. We have added the .flv MIME type in IIS and restarted the server. Still, no luck. I posted the page HTML, .flv and .swfs in a test folder on our Web site, and who does not show either. But even once, if I click on the HTML file in the folder to see it this way, it works fine.

    Any ideas? I'm starting to lose sleep on this one. Thank you. Text

    The only 'problem' I can see in the HTML (uncommitted, the source of the linked page views) is that you don't have the tag in your object, but you in the . Everything should be doubled in your flash object, once as a and as an attribute of the .

    So I quick-downloaded your swf file and ran it through my decompiler to see if I could find anything wrong. The swf file is obviously there, I was able to do this. The path to the flv file in swf (which is what I see in the window to decompile) looks that it points to a disk and not a Web site. Maybe that's the problem that people have. I would like to change this path to a relative path (3.flv instead of U:\... 3.FLV). If people are still having problems with it, my next suggestion would be to make the flv contentPath and skin absolute paths ( http://www.ecfmg.org/test/3.flv and http://www.ecfmg.org/test/SteelExternalAll.swf respectively)

  • OSX Yosemite - Flash Player will not even install - tried everything (I think!)

    I've tried everything. I have a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10

    I downloaded all Adobe Flash Player installation file that says will work with the latest Mac system, but it bounces right on the dock. I finally found one that actually opens a window of Setup, but when I click on 'Install' the beachball weaves, let him shoot all day today to see if the time would help. He just kept spinning as if it were really long Beach Boys concert.

    Please, someone help. All with the video seems to use it. I had this problem for the both Safari AND Firefox.

    Great, glad you were able to get running.  Usually when you see this, it's a third-party virus scanner - usually a release or off-brand a - which is to stop the installation program.  If you want to help us improve Setup online, newspapers would be useful.  Otherwise, we keep links updated for offline installation programs displayed on the installation troubleshooting guide.

    Time for a basic troubleshooting Firefox.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

    Honestly, this sounds like a problem of carrier. Are you able to make/receive calls or send and receive text messages? I would first check with the carrier to make sure that your phone is still set up to use mobile data. Something was accidentally deleted when they merged your bills.

    I guess you're running Vista.

    As for your 2nd question about the updates of Windows - Win 7 If you run Norton, you might have a problem. It can accept updates for Vista, but when you upgrade to Windows 7 it does not updates allow.
