How to connect to an iMac in a LAN through Time Capsule as router

SITUATION:
We have a Time Capsule at work, which we use as a router for a LAN which includes 2 iMacs, 1 PowerBook G4, and an HP Officejet Printer.
The Time Capsule connects to the internet through Ethernet, via a Static IP address. All the computers connect to the internet wirelessly through the Time Capsule, and the printer is wired to the Time Capsule.
We are trying to connect remotely to the computers in the office, keeping in mind that the Time Capsule as a router is in the middle.
SET-UP WORK DONE SO FAR:
We opened the Airport Utility, selected the Time Capsule, Advanced tab, Port Mapping option and added a device, using the local IP address of the computer we want to make available remotely.
In the Port Mapping Setup Assistant that comes up, we ran three scenarios: (1) left the Service field without a choice once and then (2) with Apple Remote Desktop and (3) Personal File Sharing.
In the first scenario, we chose 49999 as Public and Private TCP Ports (we read the figures could be in an approximate range of 42-65k), while we left the UDP Ports fields blank. In the other two scenarios we left untouched both the UDP and TCP Ports that appear as defaults when the Service field is selected.
We hit the Continue button and the Update button afterwards. The Time Capsule saved the information and restarted.
In the Sharing preference under System Preferences we chose Remote Management and clicked on the Computer Settings... button. We checked the VNC button and included a password.
REMOTE ACCESS WORK:
When we wanted to access the iMac that we just thought we had set up for remote access using a different computer connected to another network, we could not connect.
We used Chicken of the VNC to try to access the local iMac, using the Time Capsule Static IP address and the VNC password set in the Sharing/Remote Management preference in the iMac. We have been unable to access the local computer connected wirelessly to the Time Capsule so far.
We get the following message:
Could not connect to server
Connection timed out: ()
Any help out there?

The TC is not a streaming device.. it is merely a hard disk mounted inside a router.
That means My Receiver.. whatever that happens to be.. has to be a media device that can play from a network file store.. So there is no settings in Airport utility.. because the TC is too dumb to need to know anything.
BTW the TC is a bad place to store files, as it has no way to back itself up.

  • My Canon MF4100 works connected direct to iMac, but not through Time Capsule

    Hello, I cant seem to get my canon laser printer to work when connected to the time capsule.  It works fine when connected directly to the Mac.  I have downloaded the most recent drivers from the Canon website.  I have tried almost every solution I can find: deleted all printers, reinstalled, installed connected directly to the Mac then try to add through time capsule, restarted time capsule, reset time capsule, etc and nothing seems to work. 
    I also have a PC connected to the time capsule as well and the printer is not visible to add on the PC but I believe once I can get it to work on the Mac the PC will work.  I am assuming I have a printer that is not compatible but it works perfectly well and dont want to spend another 300 on a printer.  Very frustrated please help.  Thanks!

    You need to install Bonjour Print Services on the PC to make it work.
    The MF4100 might not be TC compatible. You might be able to use a powered USB hub with the TC, or use a WiFi print server (these can be found quite cheaply).

  • Wi-Fi connectivity lost, ethernet through time capsule works fine. Wi-Fi adapter broken??

    Weird... I have been using my iMac through Time Capsule.... Wi-Fi set-up works fine for iPod, iPad and Windows PC. Last week I lost my connectivity on iMac temporarily... it re-connected automatically several times, but after yesterday the connection didn't come back. Hooked up my Airport Express for speakers so now I'm connected through Airport Express and Ethernet connector on iMac. What can be wrong here??? Any help is appreciated, and hey, no, the iMac is within Wi-Fi distance!
    Thans a lot..

    Try downgrading your TimeCapsule to 7.5.2 (it proved to solve almost all the problems with Time Capsule). You can check how to do it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1218

  • How do I back up my iTunes folder to my time capsule?

    How do I back up my iTunes folder to my Time Capsule?

    A couple of issues here:
    First, keeping backups and other data on the TC's internal HD presents problems.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some possible workarounds.
    Second, as Bob says, Time Machine can't back up either the TC's hard drive or a USB drive connected to it.
    it's a bit messy, but this might work:
    Attach a USB drive to the TC and put your iTunes library on it.
    Create a disk image (as in #Q3) on the TC's internal HD, and use a 3rd-party app such as Chronosync to back iTunes up to the disk image.  I've not done that, so can't swear to it, but it appears it would work.

  • How do you back up an external hard drive with time capsule?

    how do you back up an external hard drive with time capsule?

    Will time capsule back up the machine and the hard drive that is plugged into the machine?
    Yes, if the hard drive with the video files is formatted correctly for Mac
    On the Mac with the hard drive connected....click on the Time Machine "clock" icon at the top of the screen
    Click Time Machine Preferences
    Click Options
    Here you will see a list of items that have been excluded from backups
    Click the name of the hard drive to highlight it
    Click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the hard drive from the list of excluded items
    The hard drive will now be backed up with your Mac on the next pass that Time Machine makes

  • How to backup an external hard drive plugged into a time capsule using time machine

    How to backup an external hard drive plugged into a time capsule using time machine.
    I want to move my itunes library from the mac HD to an external plugged into the time capsule, but I want to be sure this drive will still be backed up by time machine.  I currentlly see no way to do this.

    There is no way. You can connect the drive to your Mac and remove it from the Time Machine exclusion list. Then it will be backed up, but that will stop when you reconnect it to the TC. While it's connected to the TC, you can copy it manually to another AirPort Disk by following the instructions here (with a slight modification):
    Using AirPort Utility to make a copy of the Time Capsule disk

  • How do I set up a guest network on my Time Capsule?

    how do I set up a guest network on my Time Capsule?

    If that is the case, then......
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Locate the Guest Network tab located just below the row of icons and click on it
    (If you do not see a Guest Network tab....you likely do not have the Time Capsule connected to a simple modem)
    Enter a check mark next to "Enable Guest Network"
    Type in a name for the Guest Network
    Enter the password and confirm
    Click Update to save your settings and Time Capsule will restart in 25-30 seconds

  • How to improve the speed for backing up files to time capsule via in hose wifi?

    How to improve the speed for backing up files to time capsule via in hose wifi?

    via in hose wifi?
    Use a bigger hose??
    House??
    Need to spell this out a bit more..
    But speed via 2.4ghz to the TC is restricted by Apple to max 130mbps link speed.. much slower actual transfer.. latest TC and laptops can do 450mbps on 5ghz but you need to be up close.. so place the TC near the device using it.. and force 5ghz connection by using a different name for 5ghz network.

  • HT1695 My new iPad with Retina Display is not able to connect to the Wi-Fi of my new Time Capsule. It used to connect, but now it just spins and spins and never connects. I've tried rebooting everything many times.

    My new iPad with Retina Display is not able to connect to the Wi-Fi of my new Time Capsule. It use to connect, but now it just spins and spins and never connects. I've tried rebooting everything many times.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • I have just update my MacBook to Snow Leopard 10.6.3.  Unfortunately I can not now connect to the internet.  I have a time capsule that is connected to a router.  This is working with other devices but if I try to connect with the MB everything stops?

    I have updated my MB to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 - I know this means I am a little behind the times but the problems I am now having seem to justify my reluctance.  Now am unable to connect to the internet!  I use a time capsule connected via a router.  Everything is still OK with every other device (PC, I phone, Ipod) in the house so I know the "Network" is still enabled and there is no problem with the ISP.  Strangley whenever I boot up the MB it appears to freeze the network such that the other devices also will then not access the internet.  To regain access I have to turn off the MB and reset the router.  Any help gratefully recieved as I have tried some of the ideas i have found in the internet but nothing is working.  Thanks.

    That's odd.
    Try this: Unplug your Time Capsule and your router. On your MBP, click the Wi-Fi icon and select "Open Network Preferences".
    Click the lock icon to authenticate, then click the "gear" and select "set service order". Wherever AirPort (or Wi-Fi - I forget what Snow Leopard calls it) appears, drag it elsewhere in the list. Click OK, then Apply, then power up your router and TC.
    If that doesn't result in any change, repeat the above but try making the service(s) you do not need "inactive".
    The purpose of this is to reset or at least change your Network Preferences, which somehow got confused upon upgrading to SL.

    Set up your "main" router to use the OpenDNS servers, and the Time Capsule will automatically pick up those settings. No configuration is needed on the Time Capsule.

  • How to install a samsung clp 310 driver in the time capsule

    how to install a samsung clp 310 driver in the time capsule ?

    You do not install the printer driver on the Time Capsule, you install it on your Mac.
    Check with Samsung Support for details on how to download and install the driver to your Mac.
    Then use System Preferences > Print & Scan to see if your printer is compatbile. Not all printers are compatible with the USB port on the Time Capsule, so if your printer does not appear, it ls likely not compatible for this purpose.
