Connecting TimeCapsule to an existing WiFi

Hi,

I recently moved into a new home with a new internet connection, and my isp provided me a really good wifi modem/router combo for his 50Mbit ADSL. However, I'd like to connect my TimeCapsule to the wireless network. When I select the "extend wireless network" option and choose my network, i get the error message "This network can not be extended". I'm using WPA for authentification in my network.
Is there any trick to connect the TimeCapsule to an existing WiFi (or cable?) I don't want to use its internet access capabilities any more, only wireless backup.

regards
Leon
