This is just ML being its usual networking pitbull self..
The phrase "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" never occured to a pitbull.
Reboot the whole network.. shut down everything.. start up in order.. modem.. TC.. clients with a couple of minutes gap..
Welcome to new Lion and ML networking.. !!
And thank apple for dropping the airport utility that works.

Simply reboot the TC ie pull out the power. .count to 10.. plug the power back in.

Just reboot everything is usually enough. -
in Time Machine what if it says The backup disk image “/Volumes/TimeMachine/Kevin’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.
First, restart your iMac and Time Capsule. In most of the cases, this should solve that problem.

What is a sparsebundle and how can it be in use, preventing my time Capsule backups?
Hi Janis,
http://pondini.org/TM/C12.html -
I recently obtained the 3 TB time capsule and after setting it up I have backed up using time machine and after a few days it gives this error. I erased the drive and started over but the same thing happened. I do not see the error message that I get listed in the articles. Any ideas?
Error message - The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Ence’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).The best "articles" by far are those provided by Time Capsule and Time Machine guru Pondini.
He's the guy that Apple calls when they can't figure things out.
