A:

Connected by ethernet?

Airport turned off?

 

No other connections .. do it in complete isolation.

 

Do factory reset. That will not harm the backups at all. But it will get the TC functional if that is possible.

 

If you have issues.. please give us info on the ethernet setup in the computer.. it should be set to dhcp and get IP from the TC.. 10.0.1.2
