Please help with connecting a PC wirelessly to my Time Capsule

Hello,
After great assistance from William Boyd and Bob Timmons (thanks again, guys), I have successfully set up my 1TB Time Capsule and all of my (3) Macs work just fine via Ethernet and/or Wirelessly. Each connect easily to the web and print on all connected printers, Ethernet and USB, connected to the Time Capsule.
However, despite many hours, I can only get a PC running Windows XP to connect to the web and print to all three printers (using Bonjour) via Ethernet, but NOT wirelessly.
My set up is as follows:
DSL Modem, Ethernet Cord 'out' and into the WAN of the Time Capsule (TC)
TC: Ethernet to Apple Laserwriter, iMac computer (but disconnected until I run Time Machine for the first time), Ethernet (Powered) Hub, and USB to a Canon Inkjet Printer. Using WPA/WPA2 Personal.
Hub: Ethernet to a Powered Ethernet Adapter...plugged into the wall. A companion Powered Ethernet Adapter is on the other side of the house, which is connected via Ethernet to a Dual G4 tower and Xerox Laser Printer. There is also an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to the Powered Ethernet Hub for wireless connectivity on that side of the house.
Importantly, prior to the Time Capsule, I had a Linksys Router and the AEBS, and the PC easily connected wirelessly.
Strangely, the PC is not even picking up a wireless signal!!!!.
Can someone assist?
Thanks so much for whatever recommendations and assistance you can provide.

Strangely, the PC is not even picking up a wireless signal!!!!.
Clearly the PC has to join your wireless network for anything to happen. I suspect this is due to a wireless security setting. Once connected wirelessly, I think you'll be able to print just fine using Bonjour.
Since this seems unrelated to anything specific to the Time Capsule, I suggest you try the Airport for Windows forum. Good luck!

New help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd

new help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd would like 2 store my home videos and pictures on the time machine (ONLY) as the MAC AIR has storage space limited space please help. THANK YOU.

See the info here about sharing or using the TC for data.

It is extremely important you realise.. the Time Capsule was never designed for this.
It is a backup target for Time Machine.. that is the software on the computer that does backups.. it has no direct connection to the Time Capsule.
It has no ability to back itself up.. unlike all other NAS in the market. It is therefore likely one day you will lose all your files unless you seriously work out how to backup.
The TC is slow to spin up the hard disk and fast to spin down. iTunes and iPhoto will continually lose connection to their respective libraries.
iPhoto in particular is easy to corrupt when you move photos over wireless into the library.. once corrupted all is corrupt. A single photo will ruin it all.. so backup is utterly essential.
Time Machine cannot do backups of network drives. ie the TC. You will need a different backup software like CCC. You will then need another target to backup to..

I have a m2007 macbook connected to my wireless network using time capsule. I stream video to the macbook, but often get start stop of the streaming, but no wheel to indicate a buffering issue. Can I resolve this with higher speed internet and cable mod

I'm wondering if my cable internet is too slow for wireless streaming of videos to other macbooks. Any help will be appreciated

Can you clarify whether you are asking about video that you are streaming from the Internet to your Mac through the Time Capsule?
Or, are you asking about streaming video that is already stored on the Time Capsule to your Mac?
In either case, what happens....video quality wise..... if you test by temporarily turning off the wirelss on the Mac and then connecting it to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule using a spare Ethernet cable for a few hours?

Can't connect macbook to wireless printer via time capsule

I recently installed time capsule as my lan router. i use a 10.6.8 macbook; i use a brother mfc-6490 printer wireless. the printer was working fine on my previous setup, which used just a normal wireless router. the printer sees the wireless network but i can't print to it from my macbook. i've reinstalled the drivers. any suggestions?

Did you delete the existing printer in System Preferences > Print & Fax, and add it again?
I realize you reinstalled the printer's drivers, but deleting and subsequently adding the printer is certain to be a requirement as a consequence of changing your router. As far as your MacBook is concerned, the printer no longer exists where it had been accustomed to finding it, so you simply have to tell it where it "lives" now.

Please help with connection problem!

Hi people,
I am trying to use Siemens Speedstream 4200 modem to connect to the internet using its ethernet port. It is connected via USB to my wife's HP Pavillion DV9000 laptop (Win XP)and works fine with that. Almost all hardware in Brazil where I live does not support mac, so I'm not sure if the modem is made only for PC. I imagine that's unlikely. I have tried using both a simple direct ethernet connection to my mac as well as via my airport base station (which I initialised) but to no avail.
My airport is connected and has the IP address 10.0.1.2. I have also checked 'set serice order' to make sure the correct method of connection is at the top of the list. Do I need to find out some of the PC's network info to apply to my mac's setup?
Please, any help most appreciated as I need to connect for my work.
Thanks! Ben

1st the technology is the same worldwide, and it is not restricted to Mac only or Pc only the technology works on all compuuters irreguardless of the manufacture.
Turn off the Modem you are using and the same with the Airport Base.
Plug the ethernet into the Speedstreme Modem and into the Airport Router start the Modem first and wait a minute and then do the same to the Airport Base.
If your wifes PC is wireless it should connect as well as the Mac.
Get the Mac working first. The Pc should connect as well as the Mac either way with Ethernet or Wireless, if she has a wireless card in her's.
Don't be afraid to consult the paperwork that came with the Airport, or Airport Extreme Base.

Please, help me to set up wireless Internet connection. My router is WRT54GS. I able to get online when computer is wired direct to VPN internet cable.
First, I can’t open password request screen on http://192.168.1.1.
Second, when "Setup wizard" runs step #6 (“Check the router’s status”), the program asks for the password. Default password “admin” is rejected by the program and I can’t install Linksys software. Just in case I already pressed reset switch on the back of the router but to no avail.
Third, I don’t find out my Ethernet Adapter Wireless Network Connection and correct router’s IP address using ipconfig/all command after connecting WRT54GS with my computer. Ethernet adapter: DHCP disabled, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, IP address 10.32.132.193, default gate 10.32.132.1.
Tell me please: what’s the matter?

Help with Connection Settings for Blu ray-to-Airport Express-to-TC?

I'm trying to use the network capability of my Sony Blu ray player and having no luck. I have the Blu ray connected via ethernet cable to the Airport Express, which in turn is connected wirelessly to my Time Capsule. The problem I'm having is horrendous because I'm so lame and no amount of forum or internet searching has helped.
The Blu ray network settings wants the following information:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
DNS Server (Primary)
DNS Server (Secondary)
Do I get these settings from System Preferences>Network>AirPort>Advanced or do I get them from either the Airport Express or Time Capsule using AirPort Utility?
I tried giving the Blu ray player a static IP Address in Time Capsule using DHCP Reservations and the Blu ray's MAC Address, but that's not working either. Between the AirPort Express, Time Capsule, cable modem, and MacBook Air there are numbers everywhere and I just don't which set to use.

I have tried most of the suggestions on these forums to get my Samsung connected to the airport express network but so far no luck. Anybody have success out there with step by step suggestions?
Are you trying to connect it to your AirPort Express wirelessly? (That's probably the case if your AirPort Express is your only Wi-Fi device, as its Ethernet port would be connected to your broadband modem.)
Is your AirPort Express "N"-capable? What type of encryption are you using on your network?
Have you installed the "supplied Wireless LAN Adapter"?

HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it. Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

I am afraid there is no solution.
PowerPC refers to the processing chip used by Apple before they transferred to Intel chips. They are very different, and applications written only for PPC Macs cannot work on a Mac running Lion.
You could contact the developers to see if they have an updated version in the pipeline.
