Accessing time capsule with osx server and vpn

i have apple server and a time capsule that i use as harddisk. Now I want to access the time capsule by VPN. I cannot make an accesspoint of my time capsule.
When I turn off file sharing on the time capsule and turn it on on the server then i cannot access my files locally.

Sorry, have to disagree.
I have a time capusle and its in the hfs+ and my vista pc reads it fine.
You do need to download the airport software for windows from apple downloads. Install that and then, windows can see it fine under networking. Then to map a drive letter, just navigate to your time capsule in windows then right click on the share and give it a drive letter.
Or you can use the cd that came with your time capsule in your windows pc and it will install the client from there.

  • How do I set up my time capsule with my PC and BT home hub

    Hi, I really need help.
    I have a new time machine I am having trouble setting up. I have a BT Home Hub that I have hard wired to the TC to the WAN port. I have Connected my PC to the Ethernet port. The PC will not find the TC.
    I also need to Wi-Fi attach other laptop PCs to it.
    PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP?
    Ade.

    You might have an IP collision ..
    unplug the wan connection to the home hub..
    Restart the Time Capsule with a single ethernet connection to a pc plugged into its LAN port.
    Make sure the pc is getting an ip address. Open airport utility and see if you can now access the TC.. !
    When you say PC do you mean windows machine?
    Windows can have some issues accessing the TC.. especially if you have the windows computer on win7 running homegroup.. which is a wretched piece of incestous connection between win7 exclusively.

  • How to access time capsule with an old mac

    I recently upgraded from an old 12" PowerBook G4 to one of the new MacBook Pros. I also purchased a Time Capsule, am using it as my wireless router, and have been making regular backups with Time Machine. Unfortunately, I had to send away my new MacBook because of an equipment failure even though I just got it three weeks ago (that's another story). So I'm back on my old PowerBook for the time being. I'd like to manually grab some files from the Time Capsule so I can pick up my work where I left off but I don't know how to access the Time Capsule with this PowerBook. It doesn't appear in my finder like it does on the MacBook. Can someone help me out? Thanks a lot!
    Brendan

    pretty sure you need at least 10.4 to use your TC as a HD

    if you have 10.4, you would install this to gain access to yout TC:

  • Website issue with osx server and hosting

    so i had a website hosted from my osx server and i had bought the domain name from godaddy it worked great but i desided to instead of hosting it on my osx server to just host it on  godaddy so i turned to server off and added the domain to my godaddy account hosting and now it works but one problem all computers can veiw the website but mine. i think it has somthing to do with the fact that my mac was the one hosting it. but if i go to my browser and go to my wesite i get a error but than i go to any other computer and it works great help please

    A couple ideas
    check our /etc/hosts file, you might have an entry for your domain.
    sudo pico /etc/hosts
         do you see any entries for your domain? If so:
         edit the file by navigating with the arrow keys, delete the line
         with your domain. Hit ctrl-x when done (enter 'y' to save the change)
    Clear your DNS cache
         dscacheutil -flushcache
    Try a different DNS server, go into your network settings (In System Preferences)
    Go to Ethernet or Wifi (whichever you are using), click Advanced and under the DNS tab enter:
         8.8.8.8
    Make sure no entries are ABOVE it.
    If none of this works, send the results of these commands:
         cat /etc/hosts
         cat /etc/resolv.conf
         dig +short mydomain.com   (replace with your domain)
    The results of these should point us in the right direction.

  • How to Set Up Time Capsule With Airport Extreme and Airport Express

    Just got a new 1TB Time Capsule. I want it to be the main base station for my network. I already have a network set up with an older Airport Extreme base station and an Airport Express to extend it. I am thinking that rather than setting up the Time Capsule to "join" the old network, the best approach is to disconnect the Airport Extreme and Airport Express and reset them. Then set up the Time Capsule as a brand new network and bring the reset Aiport Extreme and Express onto the new network as if my original network never existed.
    Is that the right approach or am I complicating it? Can I just join the Time Capsule to the existing network and still make it the main base station for the network?

    I'd first use AirPort Utility to "Save a Copy As" of your AirPort Extreme settings. Then disconnect it, connect the Time Capsule in its place, and use AirPort Utility's "Import" function to read those settings. (Both of those functions are under AirPort Utility's "File" menu.) You may have to adjust a few settings. Once you have the Time Capsule working as you want, you can reconfigure your AirPort Extreme unit as you wish.

  • Using a current Time Capsule with Airport Extreme and Airport Express Older generation

    I am looking to achieve a fast local network that allows streaming of music and video. I have bought a Time Capsule to replace the Telstra router (Thomson Router) by linking it using ethernet cable and then set up a network that also uses and older airport extreme and express router (g standard).
    It would appear that the local network speed is slow - how can I assess the connection speed in the local network - both wireless and for ethernet?  I believe that there is a speed indication on my two older macs running OSX 10.5 but not in OSX 10.6.  Is there a tool to assess the local network speed?
    The current set up works less well than previously only using the Thomson router, so the initial results are very disappointing.  Not even streaming music seems to work and it stutters to halt.
    I had expected that the dual band functionality would allow fast local connections where needed.  What do I need to change?
    Thanks you.

    Hi Bob,
    The two old airports (extreme and express) are connected wirelessly to the time capsule base station with the following use:
    - round extreme base station supports a printer only - remote WDS indicated in set up
    - airport express supports remote speakers - set up does not indicate WDS status
    I noticed in another note to provide a second network name to 5GHz network and connect the modern computers, ipad (seems to be able to connect) and apple tv to the 5 GHz network, leaving the other on the separate network.  Also the two computers, apart from the laptops are connected via ethernet to use the GB ethernet, but I am not sure whether that speed is achieved or whether a firewire connection between the two would be better. use examples are:
    1. Wirelessly I am trying to use three speakers - computer, apple tv and express - to have to listen to the same music in three rooms.
    2. Over ethernet, I am using the the powermac as a file server to mac mini, but would like to be bale to access photo libraries (both Iphoto and Aperture) ideally over the network.  It works well with starting the powermac in target disk mode but seems slow over what should be a very fast ethernet network.
    The connection with the service providers router and time capsule is bridged - seems to be the only way of providing internet access - however, it also seems to allow for shared devices to be visible across the two time capsule and the Thomson network. 
    Obviously, this will need some more experimentation but any input would be appreciated.
    Thank you and regards,
    Tom

    Hi!
    Do you have a time machine backup? What you can try to do is a full restore on a testmachine or a VM and export the old keychain and import it into your broken server:

  • Time Machine with OSX Server; what happened to the free disk space?

    Hello all,
    I am trying to do something that should be pretty simple. I have an iMac, with Mountain Lion and Server installed. My wife has a Mac Air. The goal was to get her to Time Machine backup through the wifi to my external hardrive. I think it is working, but here is the small catch. Last night, while getting it all going, it was saying "making buckup disk ready" through the night until now. Now it is actually doing the backup normally, i.e. I can see the data transferring. BUT, here is the question, in the mean time the external hardrive lost about 300gb of space which is the size of MY iMac backup. So I hope that when I turned on Time Machine it dosnt back up one time as my computer and another as a server. That may not make any sence at all.
    Here is a screen shot of my external hardrive:
    636.33 GB, before yesterday it was half that. But my wife's hardrive is 100 GB of Data.
    Just a note, I had my hardrive wiped clean the other day before Mountain Lion was installed, and I have a "carbon copy" from before that on another hardrive. Can I delete the backup of MY machine and start over?
    Thanks, I hope this is clear.
    Best,

  • Tried to reformat Time Capsule with Disk Utility and now no Drive

    So, not reading manuals finally bit me in the behind.  I was too impatient waiting for all my back up files to erase so I could free up space, so I got the great idea.......I'll just reformat the disk with Mac Disk Utility, NOT the Airport Utility.  Now my Airport says drive needs repair, however, there is no option in the airport utility for disks anymore.
    Is there anything I can do to get the hard drive back?  or am I stuck with a very expensive wifi device now?
    Please help if you can.

    Which model TC do you have??
    What OS are you running? You  might find running the older 5.6 utility gives you a bit more control but that is not possible if you have Mavericks.. it can be still installed on lion and Mountain Lion.
    Do a factory reset of the TC if you haven't already tried.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Factory reset Gen 5
    Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
    If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
    Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.

  • Newest 3TB Time Capsule with Motorola SB6121 and Xbox live issues.

    I just bought a new 3TB Time Capsule but am having issues with the speed of my internet and connecting to XBL.  I use Time Warner and have a Motorola SB 6121 modem.  The modem is brand new as well and worked perfeclyt with my old router(Trendnet TEW-gr633).  I want to use the time capsule as my only router but it is only testing out between <1-2 on the download.  I was getting 15-25 on the download before the TC.  I am also having issues connecting to the network on my xbox 360S as well.
    Any help with adjusting the settings on my TC would be much appreciated.

    I would suggest adjusting the Time Capsule's Ethernet WAN port setting using the AirPort Utility. By default, this option is set to Automatic. I would recommend changing it to "1000 Mbps / Full Duplex" to see if this helps.

  • Time Capsule with osx 10.4 tiger

    How can I use a Time Capsule to back up my hard drive if my operating system is osx 10.4.11 (Tiger, not Leopard)?

    The info in the pdf guide is a little vauge on that point: "If you’re using an earlier version of Mac OS X, or if you’re using Windows, you can connect to Time Capsule to share or back up files."
    Since you don't have the Time Machine software included with Leopard 10.5, then you need to use some other application that can backup your data to the network drive inside the Time Capsule.
    Some options include Carbon Copy Cloner, Super Duper, Prosoft Engineering Data Backup, Retrospect, Deja Vu, etc... just like you would backup to any other external drive, just use the Time Capsule drive as the destination.

  • Use Time Capsule with Existing Router and WAP

    We've added an existing TC to a new network installation where there is now a Cisco router and separate wireless AP and a new SIP phone system. How do I best setup or reconfigure the Time Capsule so our customer can still use it for wireless backup from their Apple notebooks?
    We seem to be getting conflcts with the Time Capsule on the same subnet--capturing network and Internet ports!
    Thanks!
    Chet - Houston

    Go to internet page.. on the top menu item you are offered, internet connection by ethernet or pppoe.. choose ethernet.. on the menu option below it, you determine how the TC will share the connection. Choose bridge.. done. When you do that the TC will make the WAN port available to LAN.
    chetpro wrote:
    Is it straightforward to put the TimeCapsule into bridge mode?
    The only thing the customer needs to do is their 'backups' with this unit.  We will add a separate WAP on the subnet. I assume the Time Capsule can still reside on the same subnet...
    There are mixed PC, Apple notebooks, and printers, and a new SIP phone system on this LAN.
    Does the TC also capture or reserve ports that we can exclude?
    Thanks,
    Chet.
    Why not use the TC as a WAP.. you bridged it and now it is already a WAP.
    The TC will not capture any port that I know of. It will exist happily in the same subnet, although as I mentioned if the Mac clients lose connection after a day or two, there may be an issue with arp timing out or some discovery protocol not working. Lion is maybe more suspectible at the moment. The problem is inconsistent so not sure yet.

  • Setting up Time Capsule with Fairpoint DSL and AT&T Micro Cell

    Looking for help here. Have a Time Capsule, which as worked before, and have just moved. Want to hook up to Fairpoint DSL and AT&T Micro Cell. Not having any luck. Suggestions/recommendations/graphs/drawings/CAM-CAD mock ups would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks, Bob! If I may impose on you a little bit more, would you be able to guide me a little bit in terms of the setup?
    Would I need to connect my time capsule directly to the router for first time set up?
    If so, would I have to keep it connected to the router all the time after the first time set up, or can I keep it in another room?
    Our wireless network was created back when we were a Windows household, so we still control it using Network Magic on an old laptop.
    I unlocked the network (using Network Magic) when I tried to set up the Time Capsule (wirelessly, and before calling Apple), and after entering the network password my macbook recognized the TC and I got the good little green light on the TC. As soon as I locked up the network, I got the flashing amber light on the TC and airport utility couldn't find it anymore (using Airport utility version 6.1)... I unlocked the network again, the light turned green. I locked it back up, the light started flashing amber again...
    Thanks, I really appreciate your help!

  • New AEBS with OSX Server and Xserve

    Ok this may seem like a silly question, but here it goes. I want to have my AEBS hooked to my cable modem, but not handling NAT or DHCP(passthrough?). This would be handled by the Xserve. I tried to turn off both of both, but the current AEBS won't allow me to specify a default host with these turned off. Does this work with the new AEBS or should I just buy a Netgear. It seem much easier to assign an ip adress to the router and set the dmz server up. thanks much

    ...but the current AEBS won't allow me to specify a default host with these turned off.
    That is because a default host makes no sense with those turned off. If they are turned off, every machine on the LAN (and wireless) side are directly connected to the Internet (WAN port). There is no need for default host.
