Can't Connect to Time Capsule with VMware Fusion

I'm having problems connecting to my Time Capsule's hard drive with Windows through VMware Fusion. I have Windows installed with Boot Camp, and use Fusion to run my Boot Camp partition virtually. When booting natively(Boot Camp), Windows can connect to the Time Capsule hard drive without any problems. However, when using Fusion, I get the following error message when trying to connect to the Time Capsule hard drive:
+Unknown user, incorrect password, or login disabled. Please retype the login information or contact the disk's administrator(67)+
Any ideas as to what the problem is?

I had the exact same experience as you. I solved it by putting the Time Capsule into Bridge mode. On either Mac or Windows, open Airport Utility and click on Manual Setup. Then click on the "Internet" icon. Near the bottom of the tab you'll see "Connection Sharing". Click on the small arrow and select "Off(Bridge Mode).
After doing this, the Time Capsule showed up in my virtual XP machine's My Computer as a mounted volume. I have successfully backed up my XP machine running in Fusion 2.0.1 by directing Windows Live OneCare to this network location.

  • Can i connect my time capsule with my router as a bridge ?

    can i connect my time capsule with my router as a bridge ?

    I am a bit lost .. did you work this out?? You are running a second thread.. and answered it with this question.
    The TC can be bridged.. plug it into the main router by ethernet and run it in bridge mode.. that is router bridge.
    Do you mean wireless bridge??
    If you mean wireless bridge the answer is maybe but unlikely.
    If you setup the TC to join a wireless network.. it becomes a dumb client not a bridge.
    So to get it to wireless bridge you need to use another apple router.. that is the only way to get them to work.
    If you want specifics ask specific questions.

  • HT1178 i can't connect the time capsule with my mac using the aiport utility. i want to use the time capsule to make backup for my mac book pro. the time capsule is giving a flashed amber light. please advice me

    the time capsule is giving flashed amber light and i cant connect it to my mac book pro. i want to use it with the time machine to make backup for my mac. please advice me.

    To do the setup, plug it in via ethernet.. do not try to setup over wireless.. Once it is setup you can plug the TC into the network and use wireless.
    Most likely you will use the TC in bridge to an existing modem router.. but we cannot help as you have no details of the network setup.
    I do recommend in the setup of the TC you use SMB type names.. that means, short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.. as later Mac OS do have issues with long names, spaces and that apple shocker, the apostrophe.

  • How can I connect two Time Capsules with UTP

    Hello,
    I have one TC connected with UTP (WAN-port) on my modem to Internet on the second floor. I have a good WiFi-signal on the second floor.
    I bought on new TC to get a better WiFi-signal on the first floor and also used for backup.
    I like to connect TCold with TCnew with UTP to get a great network. I shoos UTP-connection in stead of WiFi, to get a faster performance from my network.
    So I will use both WiFi-signals from both TC's, but de TC must be communicate with UTP, not with WiFi.
    I think I connect UTP in my  LAN-port from TCold
    Which ports do I use on the TCnew (WAN-port or LAN-ports)?
    How do I configurate de software?
    Sometimes I see not 2 but 4,5 or 6 TC's in my network???
    When I disconnect UTP between the TC's the connection with WiFi is 450 Mbit/s.
    When I connect UTP between the TC's the connection is 217 Mbbit/s????????????
    Can somebody help me?

    The main thing is that TCnew is in bridge mode..
    Open the airport utility.. go to the TCnew and select it as bridge mode.
    Then go to the wireless tab, and create a wireless network of the same name and security as the TCold.
    You are probably in extend wireless now and that is wrong.

    What you want is called roaming network.

  • Can i connect my time capsule to my hdtv for use as an extra display for my mac book pro?

    I want to use my hdtv as a display wirelessly.  Can one connect their time capsule to the tv?

    1. Can my TC handle "dual band" wifi or not? As it's 3 years old, I'm not sure the spec is sufficient.
    They have been dual band since gen2.. yours is gen4 or at worst gen3.
    2. Is the TC likely to provide better performance than the BT Home Hub router, as the Apple store suggest?
    Impossible to say.. but easy to test.. simply plug the TC into the BT router in bridge mode and use it with setup to create a wireless network.. that is the way I would suggest anyway.
    3. Will the BT wifi extender still work if the TC is the main router? BT aren't sure, hence asking here.  "Trial and error" will take hours and because of the wifi issues in my house, can be frustrating.
    Sorry this is out of my perview.. I can suggest it will be poor.. apple do not use standard settings for extend wireless.. and if it is universal repeater they also behave poorly.. Have you thought of using EOP adapters.. very popular in the UK and tend to work much better than wireless.
    4. Would the BT wifi extender communciate with the TC or the BT Home Hub router?
    As suggested above.. leave the BT as the main router and plug the TC bridged into it.. you can then use both..
    simply set the wireless names different and keep the channels apart.
    For 2.4ghz there are only 3 non-overlapping channels.. 1, 6, 11 or 13 as alternative in UK.
    For 5ghz there are lots more but the lower channels work better.. so 36-48 depending on regs in the UK.

  • Can I use airport time capsule with a hotspot network?

    Can I use airport time capsule with a hotspot network?

    Can I use airport time capsule with a hotspot network?
    Very very poorly..
    It can join a wireless network..
    See instructions here.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5719954?tstart=0
    End result is super slow wireless connection to the TC and all packets pass through the hotspot so expect internet to drop to nothing while you are backing up.

  • I can't connect to Time Capsule- error message: Backup disk is not available. Was working fine before.

    I can't connect to Time Capsule- error message: Backup disk is not available. Was working fine before.

    Restart it.. Does this all the time with Lion and even worse ML.
    Restart the whole network if that doesn't work.. do it in correct order.. from off.. modem.. TC.. clients 2min gap.

  • Can i use my time capsule with virgin wifi hub

    can i use 2tb time capsule with virgin media wifi hub router

    Yes, but it will need to connect to the Virgin router using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection from one of the LAN <--> ports on the Virgin router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.

  • How do I connect my time capsule with a Lynksis wi fi netwotk?

    How do I connect my time capsule with a Lynksis wi fi netwotk?

    You cannot extend or repeat a non-apple router in an apple router..
    You must plug it in via ethernet and then setup roaming network (or if you like a completely separate network.. makes no difference from the TC point of view). TC is in bridge mode. That is router bridge not wireless bridge.. I gave the info on the other thread you are running.. very confusing when you ask in multiple threads.

  • How can I use my time capsule with windows7

    How can I use my time capsule with windows7?

    This is asked regularly.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/10978060#10978060
    Look at the more like this. On the right column next to the post.
    Load airport utility for windows.. which will also load bonjour for windows.
    In windows explorer type \\TCname or \\TCipaddress (replacing with the actual values.. names with spaces will give you trouble so change all names in the TC to SMB compatible or actual ip address).

  • Can I connect my Time Capsule wired to the computer and just use it as a back up

    Can I connect my Time Capsule to my computer (wired) and just use it as a back up and not as a wireless router?

    Yes, you simply bridge the TC..
    Just google for it as we have posted the instructions endlessly.
    The one trick that might be necessary is to ensure the TC is on a different IP range to the main broadband connection.
    And make sure the gateway and dns do not cause issues.. so it is generally better to set static ip on the TC and the computer.
    None of it is hard so ask for specific instructions if you get to the point.

  • Can I connect 3TB Time Capsule to 27" iMac via USB?

    Hi,
           I have an Airport Time Capsule, 3TB which I use for Time Machine backups.  Can I connect the Time Capsule using USB cable from the TC to my 27" iMac desktop Computer?  Is that the most efficient way or is there a more efficient way?  Please advise.
    Thanks,
    relaxed

    Kappy,
          Why is there a USB on the back of the 3TB Time Capsule?  Just a question?

  • You must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    you must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    I tried to answer in your other post.. please stick to one thread ..
    What method of internet do you have.. is this fibre install.. if so the TC should just plug in and use dhcp in router mode.. press and hold the reset and it will go back to router mode by default.

  • Can I connect my Time Capsule using Verizon FIOS

    Can I connect my Time Capsule directly to Verizon FIOS connection?

    Suyiitapi wrote:
    So I have to use Verizon's router first and cannot go directly into Time Capsule then.  Corrrect?
    I am not sure we are talking about the same thing..
    The FIOS is a full router.
    You plug the TC into the FIOS by ethernet.. WAN TC, LAN FIOS.
    Then you plug your computer into TC or FIOS.. or you can use TC wireless or FIOS wireless.. both will connect to both TC and internet. But generally for high speed backups, you will be better connecting directly to the TC.. whether by wireless or ethernet.

  • I can't expand my Time capsule with an other airport to support wifi transfer itunes music to my stereo receiver.

    I can't expand my Time capsule with an other airport to support wifi transfer itunes music to my stereo receiver.
    I can see my time capsule in the airport configuration program, but not my airport. Not even when it is cabled.

    On the side label find the model number.. A1084 for example is old. It will not work.
    The new one A1392 and the earlier N wireless A1264 will both work.
