Windows 7 and Time Capsule

Hi guys,

I just got my Time Capsule and it was up and running in no time. I'm having the following problem:

I can see, read and write small files to the Time Capsule disk, but when I try to copy a large file (175MB) it just refuses. I get an error:

There is a problem accessing T:\
Make sure you are connected to the network and try again

I tried suggestions mentioned in other and this forum: change the LAN Manager authentication level and disable the 128-bit requirement, but still the same thing.

My Mac mini mounts, reads and writes fine via Windows 7. Please help me out.

P.S.
- I have the final (MSDNAA) version of Windows 7
- I have the most recent Time Capsule update (7.4.2)
- There is a Time Capsule password on it, which is the same as my Windows password
- The workgroup is on both systems 'WORKGROUP'

Hi

I've just got my Time Capsule, it shipped with 7.4.1 and I upgraded to 7.4.2 when it asked me. I'm also experiencing this network error problem......but my other problem is that when I try to downgrade to older firmware, there are no other options except 7.4.2 !! How can I revert back??

Please help me

Thanks

In windows XP/Vista the time capsule shares works perfekt.

When I now upgraded my PCs to Windows7 I got the same problems that are mentioned in this thread.

This is a windows problem, not a Time capsule problem.

It seems to be working now. I did a windows backup all day and it worked, and just copied a large file over and it seems to work.

I also have this same issue and have been suffering from it since I bought my Time Capsule in July. I have Windows 7 32bit and Time Capsule 7.4.2.

Wish this issue would be fixed soon by Apple.

Go to start menu and type "security"
go to local security policy

Then go to Local Policies > Security Options > Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level

Select "Send LM & NTLM - Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated"

Should help working

I finally solved my problems with the 10057 fault code! The solution that worked for me was to remove the Air Port 5.4.2 and install the 5.3.2 instead. It seems that the software engineers at Apple has made a huge mistake during the upgrade for the Air Port software?

I tried all tips and trix found in this forum and nothing helped, in pure desperation I did the downgrade of Air Port software and immediately the Air Port software behaved as expected! I can now both enter the Time Capsule by double clicking the icon (left field) or choose to manually connect.

Hope this will help someone else solve the "10057 problem" since Apple don't seems to care about their customers!

Cheers!

I have the same problem and the sad thing is that you can only revert to a firmware that have previously been installed. In other words you and I are ******! There's no way of downloading an old firmware and install it if you haven't already had it installed. Sorry...

I tried installing The Airport Utility ver 5.3.2. but that did not change anything for me. I am still stuck with the 100057 error of not being able to access the settings in the Airport Utility.

I thought Apple was better than this. Really disappointed!

I also tried changing the LAN authentication level under Network Security according to alexparis advice, but that did not solve anything.

I really regret this buy, I have had nothing but trouble since I bought the TC.

I tried the security options fix and I still have problems like crazy... I have tried all the different firmwares and I still have problems copying large files and after so many small files it dies anyway... I can login with specific accounts though...

I was wondering if you could send me a copy of 7.3.2 Firmware for Time Capsule. Ever since I upgraded to 7.4.2 i have experienced severe problems accessing the disks and wireless and I also use this for my IT business. I lost the older firmwares when i wiped my computer. I looked all over the internet and i cant find the files

Oct 25, 2009 7:17 PM in response to alexparis

Thanks! I was having problems connecting with Win7/64 where I had none with XP Pro. This did the trick.

To download older versions of firmware, follow these instruction from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1218

If I have a computer or device that does not work well with an AWD with the latest update, how can I install previous (earlier) versions of firmware?

1. Open AirPort Utility.
2. From the AirPort Utility menu, hold the Option key (Control key in Windows XP and Vista) and choose Check for Updates....
3. Select the specific firmware version you require.
4. Click Download.
5. Select your base station and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click on the AWD icon.
6. Choose Base Station > Upload Firmware.
7. Select a firmware version and click OK.

I have the old versions as I have had the Time Capsule for a while ... tried to find where they were stored on the local drive, but no luck with that.

Sam, I could kiss you!

Everything is so much better with 7.3.2

Thank-you!

Hi I have been struggling with the same problem. Did you have 7.3.2 previously installed. Airport doesn't provide me with the option to download 7.3.2. It only allows me to download 7.4.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
