Ethernet Port on Apple Airport Express

[duffy78]

Hi,

I was hoping someone could give me some pointers with regards being able to use the ethernet port on the airport express.

I would like to connect my popcorn hour to it in order to update firmware and keep the jukebox up to date.

At present i have the AX set up connected to my existing wifi network, i checked the box to allow wired ethernet connection but connecting to the ethernet port does not seem to do anything.

The AX is the n version.

any ideas?

oh, just want to add that eventually i will be hoping to get another AX for upstairs and was hoping to connect a NAS to the ethernet port, so am expecting similar problems.

You are basically trying to get the AExp to work as a wireless ethernet bridge. This feature is called ProxySTA and this is an earlier thread.
