Time capsule set-up: Iv seen tutorials. They show the power cable and the ethernet cable from the modem going into Time Capsule... Is there an ethernet needed from the Time Machine to the computer?
Time Capsule-OTHER
Hi,
This Post has been categorised with "iChat and iChat Sharing" but is plainly not about iChat.
Were you looking to categorise it with something else ?
I don't have a Time Capsule but I have used Time Machine over Wifi between a computer that did not have a Back Up drive connected and a computer that did (both computers were WiFi).
This method is very slow to backup even when doing hourly incremental ones.
A direct connection like you get in Firewire or USB 2.0 connections do tend to be "best" for Speed.
The Ethernet cable would normally go to the Modem you have

This Set up guide shows a pic at the top with several Ethernet Ports.
