Sharing time capsule over internet using bonjour

I recently purchased a time capsule and set it up to wirelessly connect to my home network. After some reading I've found out that I can access the time capsule when away from home. I've read that there is normally a spot to check "share disks over WAN" but I have "share disks over the internet using bonjour". Now I have tried to share the disk using bonjour and I can't figure out how to access it after this step is completed. Can anyone help??

Thanks

macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Apple clearly states it does give access to the hard disk.. and people have done it.. I use manual access but it is doing the same thing.


You are using that useless airport utility.. v6.. which is necessary to setup icloud but for following the instructions from Tesserax won't work.


Install 5.6 utility.. you can jump between them. There are several different methods. Here is mine.


How to load 5.6 into ML.


1. Download 5.6 for Lion.

Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.



2. Download and install unpkg.

Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.



You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
