    Have you typed the address directly into the address bar.

     

    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress

     

    Please note.. a TC named Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule

     

    Is going to give you problems.

     

    I recommend strongly using all SMB.. ie windows networking names on the TC.

     

    You cannot type that name into the windows .. but on the network it should appear as

     

    fred-blogs-airport-time-capsule you could try that..

     

    Much easier though to name it correctly.. eg Tardis

    Just map the drive.

     

    As long as the drive does not change address it can be mapped fairly easily in windows.. if you don't know how just google for it.

     

    BUT it should happen pretty well automagically if you install the airport utility for windows.. that includes both bonjour for windows and a disk agent to help your windows map the disk.

    Whilst it is related to slightly different setup the basic idea are same.
