I can ping and browse shares on time capsule, but not make backups from other location connected with MPLS?

Hi
We have just bought an Apple Time Capsule with 3TB of storage, to make backups of our users macbooks. It works fine at the office1 where it is located, but from our other office, time machine backup doesn't work. The offices are connected through a 100Mbit MPLS connection with no firewall - everybody in office1 can see everything at office2, and vice versa. The users at office2 can ping the time capsule, and they can also browse network shares on it.
The only thing that doesn't work, are time machine backups.
The only difrence I can imagine is, that the the machines at office2 are on a different IP subnet, that is being routed through the MPLS connection.
Is there a problem with the AFP perhaps? SMB and ping works fine, my guess is, that AFP doesn't like the fact that the clients are on a different subnet than the time capsule. But what can be done about this?
Best regards
Peter Bak

Thanks Linc ......you were right on the money. Your help has been awsome. I spent 3 hours last night doing stuff with out any solutions. May I ask you another question if you have the time and patience please. My orriginal setup was 2 windows laptops with XP on them connected with a timecapsule attached to a router. Hence the time capsule made a wireless signal aswell as being an external hard drive. On one of the laptops i have a printer attached to it which was shared so that the other computer could print documents through the network however the computer attached to the printer has to be on. Do you know what i have to do so these new 2 mac book pros can print to that printer? Thanks again for all your previous help. Nick

    Using Firefox, I can login and browse my financial institution website (NFCU) but I cannot pay bills. When I click the bill pay tab, the tab loads about 66% and then hangs (loading). I have let it load until NFCU asks me if I want to cancel the session, a much to long of a load time. Has anyone else reported having this issue with NFCU or Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18?
    I have also posed the question to NFCU, currently awaiting response and will share what was given.

  • So i just got an 3T external hard drive and i have moved my itunes over to it successfully and have started using Time Capsule but is there a way to make things i download go directly to my external hard drive and not to my internal one?

  • I can receive face time calls but not make them

    Why can I receive face time calls but cannot make one to a contact?

    Have you tried looking in settings, general, restrictions and see if the app got restricted? When it's restricted the icon vanishes.

  • Older Macbook connects to Time Capsule, but not really

    Problem: My wife's Macbook (Intel Core Duo) is able to connect to my new Time Capsule, but it quickly loses its connection. It doesn't really disconnect though - it still says that it is connected with full reception, but there is no internet, or time machine, and I can't even ping the router.
    The router logs show that she is still connected though, because they don't say "Disassociated with station" until she turns airport off.
    There are definitely a lot of wireless networks around here, but I don't think interference is the issue, since many other computers are working fine. Her computer can connect to some of the other routers just fine. She could also connect to my old router just fine.

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    When that happens, if you open the Network panel of System Preferences, select the AirPort connection item on the left, click the "Advanced" button, then the "TCP/IP" tab, do you see reasonable values for the several fields?
    It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until it works again:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    3) In the same panel as (2), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    4) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    5) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    They may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.

  • Vista connects to Time Capsule but not to the internet.

    Hi. Please help, I am pulling my hair out. I have just bought a Time Capsule to use as a base station to connect my laptops, PS3, iPhone etc to the internet. When I set up my Time Capsule, I got my Macbook Pro, my PS3 and my iPhone connected in about 15 minutes flat. But I have now been trying to get my wife's Sony Vaio laptop (about one year old) connected for about 3 hours. It can see the network no problem, it connects, but it only ever connects locally and will not let the Windows machine connect to the internet. When I select which network to join, it correctly identifies my network with the correct name, but once it is connected it only sees an "unidentified network".
    I have looked through the forums and made sure that the NETbios is started and the security encryption matches.
    If I go to the "Summery" page in my Airport Utility on my Macbook, it can see the Windows laptop.
    The more I try the more I want to throw the windows machine out of the window and get my wife a mac, but she informs me that she is 28 and she is a PC! Therefore, I need to fix this...............please help.

    From the Vaio's Windows Desktop, start a Command Window session. (ref: Start > Start Search > enter cmd, and then, press Enter). At the command prompt, type-in ipconfig /all, and then, press Enter.
    You may have several network components listed. For example, entries for both the Ethernet and Wireless connections. We want to concentrate on the wireless adapter settings.
    Note the values of the following:
    o IPv4 Address - This should be an IP address in the same range as that being provided to the other network clients. By default, the AirPort uses the 10.0.1.n range ... so an address like 10.0.1.10 would be appropriate.
    o DHCP Enabled - This should be "Yes."
    o Default Gateway - This should be the IP address of the LAN-side of your AirPort. By default, it would be 10.0.1.1.
    o DHCP Server - This should be the same as the Default Gateway value.
    o DNS Servers - These should be your ISP's DNS servers IP addresses.
    Again, compare these values with the other computers that are successfully access the Internet. Except for the IPv4 value, all others should be the same.

  • IPhone 4 & iPod Touch can connect to Time Capsule, but not Internet

    My family and I have an iPhone 4, iPhone 3G & iPod Touch. Our WiFi comes from a Time Capsule. My Macbook Pro can connect to the WiFi and get online, but the iPod & iPhones can only connect to the Wifi, not actually get online.
    We some issues with our ISP last week, which took some time and some messing with the settings on Time Capsule to resolve. At one point, Airport Utility asked me if I'd like to switch to bridge mode...I'm not sure if that ever happened or not, to be honest, and don't know how to see if I'm in bridge mode or not (or even what that means, really).
    With my iPhone 4, I can successfully connect to the wireless network, but the icon in the top left of the screen stays on 3G (unless my service drops in my house, in which case it shows the WiFi icon but won't let me connect via Safari or any other apps).
    With the iPhone 3G, it does connect, but doesn't ever show the WiFi icon.
    With the iPod, it says it connects, but doesn't ever show the WiFi icon. I get the error "Safari cannot open the page. The error was: Operation coudl not be completed. Invalid argument."
    Does anyone have any idea what I could do to resolve this?

    I fixed this on my own. How did I do it?
    1. Reset Time Capsule to factory settings (via Airport Utility)
    2. Renamed my WiFi network
    3. Restarted my router
    Everything's fixed. I've seen this problem all over the Web but no solutions, so hopefully this will help someone.

  • My old Time capsule was not working well.  I replaced it with a new Airport Extreme.  Now I can see the other airport express stations.  I tried resetting them, but it did not work.  What do I do?

    I replaced my old time capsule with a new airport extreme.  I have 3 airport express stations that I have all around the house.  (2 1st generation, 1 second generation).  I can't see them with airport utility.  I tried resetting, but no luck.  Any suggestions?

    Bring all the express to the same room as the mac you are using to setup the network..
    One by one, plug them in and do full factory reset on them.. they should then show up in the Airport utility as Other Wi-Fi devices (1) and you can select them and continue the setup.
    If that fails try using the airport utility on ipad or iphone as they are far less problematic than Yosemite in particular.

  • I have a Macbook Pro (2009) and the tool bar in Safari keeps disappearing. There's a small diagonal arrow on the upper right that I can click and the bar will appear temporarily, but then it disappears from view. "Hide Toolbar" is greyed out in VIEW

    My 2009 Macbook Pro's Safari doesn't show the tool bar anymore.  I can click on a diagonal arrow in the upper right corner that appears when I put my cursor there and the tool bar will show, but then it disappears again.  Also, when I get an email and click on an internet link the Safari doesn't open full page like it used to - it opens as a small little box and I have to click the diagonal arrow in upper right corner for it to open full screen.  Any ideas how to correct this - it is so annoying.  Thanks for any help!

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • Is there a way of storing files on both iCloud Drive and my Time Capsule, but not my built in Hard Drive?

    I have a Mac Book Pro. I work with large video files, which I sometimes want to save on a Time Capsule - or another external hard drive, as well as the cloud.
    I sometime want to access the videos when I travel - and really want a no-nonsense solution which allows me to store the videos on the external HD, but access them through the cloud when traveling - even when the power is down and my external HD at home is switched off (I live in The Bahamas, where this frequently happens.)
    Any Suggestions?

    You didn't have a backup of your MacBook's hard drive when it had to be replaced?  If you do look in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to see if the Doman.sites2 file is there.  If it is drag it to the same folder on your new hard drive and open with iWeb.  That should give you your old sites back.
    If you don't have a backup then you'll have to do what QTKirt pointed out.  However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site.

  • HT3529 I can call and send iMessages off my phone but not texts?

    I can't send texts and I've tried contacting Vodafone

    Wifi:  my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections.  So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
    if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help.  You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service.   Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
    last resort.  Backup the phone.  Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
    if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
    HOWEVER.   voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.

  • Windows 7 connects to Time Capsule but not internet

    I have a macbook pro and two windows vista pcs that connect and surf the internet fine with Time Capsule, however, for two windows 7 laptops, they detect the network and can connect to the network, but cannot connect to the internet.
    I'm not sure what the problem is, and diagnosing/repairing the network does not help.
    So currently the network looks like this with the Windows 7 laptops:
    W7 Laptop --- Time Capsule Network -x- Internet

    I too have this problem, I see that there is a solution solved notice at the top of the page, but I do not see the solution.

  • Time Capsule does not show backups but

    Timw Capule does not show backups but the Time Machine Preferences shows the dates of the oldest and latest backups.  I shortened the name of the Time Capsule even though it was not over 27 letters.  Sill can not see any backups when I enter Time Machine.  It only shows NOW.
    This occurred today, June 1st.  I has a problem when I connected for the first time in May and it eliminated all prior backups for over 6 months and began with a total new backup.  It does not seem to like new months.

    This problem is typical of Time Machine on Mavericks.. have you upgraded a computer. When you started using Mavericks it will probably destroy all your old backups. But if you are trying to find a particular file, use the method in Pondini here to open the sparsebundle in Finder. You will not see anything via the TM in Mavericks.
    http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
    You can and should read all the FAQ from 14-17 to understand other options for accessing old backups.
