Hi


I am using a Windows PC with Windows 7 and have installed my TimeCapsuale. ALl Lights on Green and also the Connection is working. If I send a Pingto the IP Adress, I do get an reply. The only Problem is I can not see that Drive in my Explorer.

What can I do

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.
