I have a Iomega ScreenPlayPro that I would like to share.
However, when I connect it to the USB Port I can´t see the disk. If I connecto to a USB port in the back o the Mac its ok.
Best regards

How is that disk formatted? Did you configure your Time Capsule to share the disk in the Disks panel of AirPort Utility?
The disk is formated as Windows NT (NTFS).
When I plug the disk directly to the usb port of the Mac, it works. However I would like to share it in my private home network, so other computers and TV can access to it. So I tried to share it by the Time Capsule.
I can't take any action in the disk when connectd throught de Time Capsule.
Thank's for your help,
Best regards

That's the problem. According to the electronic book "Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network", a disk connected to the USB port of a Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme base station must be formatted as HFS+, FAT16 or FAT32.
I have tried with a pen drive, connecting it to a USB with selfpower. I have formated it in the Mac.
When I connect the pen to a usb-port in the iMac, I can see it and manage, however, when I connect it to the time capsule, it appears in the time capsule disks but not in the finder or desktop.
Please see configurations bellow for more information (sorry for the portuguese language in my computer).
Any help? What is wrong?
Please, note also what happens:
1) With pen in the usb port of the Mac. It appears on the Finder, but of course not in the Time Machine
2) If Pen is in the USB of the Time Machine, it does't appear on the Finder, and even in the DiskUtility

Try two things:
1) Mount the pen drive on your iMac. Launch Disk Utility. In Disk Utility select the drive on the pen drive, not the volume. What do you see at the bottom of the Disk Utility window for (in English) "Partition Map Scheme"? If you don't see some variation of "GUID" or "APM", it might be better if you repartitioned it and used the "Options" button to declare one of those.
2) Dismount the pen drive from your iMac and mount it on the Time Capsule. Do you see the Time Capsule on the sidebar of a Finder window? If so, select that. I'd expect you to see the pen drive volume in the main part of the Finder window. If so, double-click on the pen drive volume to mount it. The problem may be that you expected the pen drive volume to appear in the Finder sidebar without being mounted.
Thank you very much.
Yes, that was the problem I "expected the pen drive volume to appear in the Finder sidebar without being mounted".
However I am still having a share problem since I can't see de disk on the PC (Windows Vista).
I have the following conncetions at home:
Time Capsule and Pen are already in the "share" section, when seen in the Finder
However it isn's seen in any other computer.
Should I instal any software, has I have done to share the printer (Bonjour)? My OS is Lion.
Best regards

My reference material notes that with Windows Vista you'd open the network browser by double-clicking Network on the Desktop. You should see the Time Capsule in the resulting window. Beyond that I'm not sure how much help I can give you with Windows problems.
