Can't access Time Capsule disk via Ethernet? Only through Wi-Fi?

Hey guys,


Just got me a new latest-generation 3TB Time Capsule and hooked it up via ETH, because I have a different Linksys router which I use for my home network and internet access on my rMBP. I've one issue with it, and then an extra question:


1. Why is the Time Capsule not showing under 'SHARED' (in Finder) when it's connected through ethernet? Only when I connect to its wi-fi network (which was created during the initial setup of the TC device), does it come up. But, then I am not connected to my home network, and I want to be able to backup while surfing the web (which brings me to my next question):

2. Am I able to make my Time Capsule connect to my existing home network (via wi-fi or ethernet), so that I will be able to access its disk via Wi-Fi?


The reason for me not using the Time Capsule as my main router, is because it's configuration is very limited.


Thanks.

Nevermind. Simply setting the router to Bridge, instead of DHCP and NAT (under 'Network' in the AirPort Utility) did the trick. Thanks 😀
