Aplle computers locating Time Capsule; but, no luck with PC
My PC cannot identify my Time Capsule router? Anyone experiencing the same problem? Any suggestions? No problems with connecting to my Mac computers.
Thanks,
Jay
1- install the new airport software from the apple web site, under downloads on the mac
2-in the airport utility under manual setup / go to disk / check enable file sharing / under workgroup type in MSHOME
3-update
4- on the pc in control panel / performance and maintenance / system / computer name / change workgroup to MSHOME
5- remove existing windows airport software
6- pc go to step 1 / apple web site download airport software for windows / install / password access should be same as the airport disk utility
the apple web site downloads are an updated version, this was what I did with a little help from everyone here on this discussion. My Daughter uses the pc for college and the backup with norton 360 works great.
I had quite some problems to get my pc to see the time capsule too.
I found the download AirPort Utility 5.3.1 for Windows on the apple support/download page.
Downloaded it and restarted the pc - everything works like a charm.
I use synctoy to back up my pc. That syncs my hard drive to the time capsule from Parallels (which I don't like) perfectly.
