Q: I am not connecting my Time Capsule to the internet.  I rent and until I move I am on my Super's connection.  I can do everything w/o connection to the internet correct?

  I rent and until I move I am on my Super's connection.  I can do everything w/o connection to the internet correct? I am just nervous I have only 45 GB left on the HD,  Stressed deluxe...  Should I just use my capsule as an external HD for the time being? then connect my internet at a later date?

    So this is your internet?? We have no idea how that is delivered to you.

    Everything means what?? If you tell us how you get internet ie is it wireless, wired, something else. Then you can use whatever network options are left to connect to the TC.

     

    Why not backup to the TC as per normal.. or is this what you mean by using it as external hd??

     

    There is no reason you cannot use the TC in the network if you get ethernet connection to internet. You can bridge the TC.. or if the Super (whoever that is) only gives you one IP you can route it via NAT. Only it will double NAT.. but that isn't such an issue.. but we cannot really suggest anything without knowing what it is you want.

     

    We need to know, what connections are being used.. wired or wireless.

     

    Just spell out what you really want to achieve.. and then we can suggest ways to do it.

     

    But you cannot do "everything" without internet.. obviously anything that requires internet is immediately unavailable.. but I am not sure that is what you mean.
