Is there a fix for connection problem on Time Machine

Should I move components around, restart Time Capsule, restart Mac - any ideas?


Thanks, Tom

Changing to a cable connection predictably worked but revealed little

about the cause. Fooled around with Settings all to no avail - decided

to check the cable from disk to Airport. Swapped in a new one - voila!

She hooked up right away and Time Machine did its business. But something

new's been added - the backup disk now appears on the desktop - even 'tho

it's connected wirelessly to Airport. Is this normal?
