Time Capsule preventing me from accessing some sites

Hello,
I've been using a 1TB Time Capsule as a router and external HD in my home network for almost one year and never had this problem, but around 3 days ago I noticed that I couldn't access certain sites like wikipedia.org and last.fm anymore (My browser doesn't get past the "waiting for www.wikipedia.org" when I try) in any of the computers I have connected to the TC.
When I disconnected my modem from the TC and connected it directly to one of my computers I didn't have any problems accessing any sites, so the issue is definitely with the router.
I already tried rebooting the TC and renewing the DHCP on AirPort, but neither worked.
My TC has firmware 7.4.1 and is connected directly to 3 PCs running Windows XP Home with Firefox and wirelessly to 2 MacBooks running 10.5 Leopard with Safari, and they all have the same issue with the same sites.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

buemba,
I have been having the same exact problem--it just started about a week ago. I had gotten the 500gb Time Capsule in December and it has been working flawlessly until now.
I've had numerous conversations with my ISP (Comcast) who swears up and down that it is not their problem to correct. I've come to learn they might be right: I can plug my laptop directly into my cable modem and access the sites which I cannot access behind my TC. It isn't a problem limited to one computer on my network--I have three Apple computers and a Linux box that can't connect to the same sites.
I tried everything--restarted the TC, complete with new profile settings, did a powerflush of my modem, even left it off for a day hoping it would lease a new IP that would fix this problem (it didn't).
My wife and I both rely on our Internet to do University coursework, and unfortunately, one of the sites we can't access is our online classrooms. This is a HUGE problem. I've scoured the Internet searching for a solution to this issue but have yet to come across one that applies to the Time Capsule. I really don't want to stop using my TC's router capability but short of getting a new router, I don't have the solution for this problem and nobody else seems too, either.
Apple: help, please?
UPDATE: Searched these forums, found a couple of other threads with other users having the same problem:

This is definitely not an isolated occurrence.

  • TS3972 How can I access the files(movies,music,etc) in my Apple Time Capsule(4th Gen) from my Apple TV(3rd Gen). This is very frustrating Apple has not provided a basic feature, and me buying the Time Capsule and Apple TV is an complete waste of bucks.

    I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very  n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
    To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there

  • How I can set up the DynDns inside the Time capsule, or only with the Time capsule I have external access from a PC for ex.?

    How I can set up the DynDns inside the Time capsule, or only with the Time capsule I have external access from a PC for ex.?

    MobileMe service is finished.. to get remote access to the Mac or TC you use iCloud account.. but that is for files.. not to access web cams.
    Without dyndns client in the TC, you can perhaps run dyndns on the computer or video recorder..many of these will have clients built into them.
    Even better get a static Public IP from your ISP.. that is the correct professional way to do it.
    Or you can use whatever broadband modem you have and remove the TC as the main router.. simply bridge it. Use your adsl router for connection. Almost all adsl have built in dyndns.
    Sorry your language is very hard to follow.. and I am sure you are finding my answers similarly difficult.
    Basically the TC is about the hardest device to setup because it is lacking important networking functions.
    Get a vpn router and use vpn connection is far superior to any other method. But you cannot do it with TC.

  • Can't access some sites when using Aiport Express, why?

    I'm using Windows 7 and my router is a wireless Apple Airport Express that is approximately two years old. Suddenly I can't access some sites (for example www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se, or www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk, some streamed tv-shows on svtplay.se, and a number of other random sites) when connecting to internet with my router. It worked good until recently and I'm fairly sure this problem emerged when my ISP upgraded from 10/10mbit to 100/10mbit speed. Most other sites like facebook and google works fine.
    When using my network cable to connect to internet everything works fine and I can access these sites.
    Firmware is current and I've tried reseting the router to factory defaults.
    Tried different browsers, and I can't ping the "blocked" sites either. Tracert www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se starts with 10.0.0.1 and continues through a number of long addresses until it says timeout. The last working address before timeout was sth-tcy-ipcore01-ge-0-2-0.neq.dgcsystems.net [83.241.252.13], if it matters. Tracert www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk also eventually gives me a timeout.
    When the network cable is plugged in, I still get timeout on tracert www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se even though I can access the site in Chrome. Weird. www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk doesn't give me a tracert timeout when the cable is plugged in, and I can access the site as usual.
    I've tried changing DNS servers to use opendns servers instead, but to no use.
    I've tried pinging these two sites with a lower MTU packet size (with this method: http://www.richard-slater.co.uk/archives/2009/10/23/change-your-mtu-under-vista- or-windows-7/), but still can't access them through ping...
    I don't know what to do anymore.... any suggestions???
    Thanks

    if the above does not help check with a few malware/virus scan programs for virus. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure to update each program to get the latest version before doing a scan.

  • After resetting Time Capsule, how do I access my previous backups?

    After re-setting Time Capsule, how do I access my previous backups?

    Access it to do what??
    You can migrate the data.. see Pondini instructions for migrate. (or from apple).
    His instructions are a little out of date.. but still more useful than the over generalised stuff Apple give you.
    http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
    OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks
    If you wanted to continue using the backup with TM.. no you cannot inherit a backup from a different machine.
    To simply access the backup .. then open the sparsebundle from finder or TM..
    See the instructions in Pondini.. Q15-17 here.

    If you want to do something else you need to tell us what it is??

  • Trouble accessing some sites today April 10, 2012

    I woke up this morning at 5:30 AM to discover I could not access my FIOS Internet. After about an hour on hold with Verizon Support I realized I could suddenly access some sites, but not all. For example, I can search on Google but cannot access any sites that pop up in the search results. I can access my local news web site, but not CNN. Very odd. This impacts all of my devices, both Ethernet and wireless connected. I am in PA zip code 19006. FIOS TV is working. Anyone else having this problem?

    It's not likely a DNS issue since I use OpenDNS servers from my Ubuntu Linux desktop.  This has to be a routing issue.  I can access Yahoo, Google (and Gmail) and Verizon.com but none of the ads or other links from the searches are accessible.  Can't acecess Facebook, Speedtest, Engadget with direct IP addresses.

  • I need help in resolving a problem that prevents me from accessing the iTunes store.  Message reads " iTunes cannot contact the iTunes store" and also says that my laptop is no longer authorized to access my account.  Help!

    I need help in resolving a problem that prevents me from accessing the iTunes store.  Message reads " iTunes cannot contact the iTunes store" and also says that my laptop is no longer authorized to access my account.  Help!

    Go up to the top of your screen on iTunes and click on 'Store'.  Then go down to 'Authorize This Computer'.  That should cover part of it unless you've already authorized a bunch of other computers to use your account.  If that's the case, you'll have to go to one of those computers and click the button just below it to 'deauthorize your account' from that computer.  If you're not able to access the store, check your internet connection to make sure you are connected.  Hope this helps.. good luck!

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim

  • Hi iv got a sky router downstairs and a time capsule up stairs how do i set it up so that it just extends the sky wifi and then the hard drive in the time capsule is accessible from all over the house thanks

    hi iv got a sky router downstairs and a time capsule up stairs how do i set it up so that it just extends the sky wifi and then the hard drive in the time capsule is accessible from all over the house thanks

    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> ports on the back of the Sky router to the WAN (circle of dots icon) port on the back of the Time Capsule. This connection must be maintained at all times.
    Then, using the setup "wizard" on your iMac illustrated below, configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password that the Sky router is using.
    You can get the setup wizard going in several different ways, but the simplest might be to click the WiFi icon at the top of the Mac's screen and then click on Time Capsule under the heading of New AirPort Base Station.
    The wizard will open up and analyze the network, then the suggest the correct setup. The example below shows an older AirPort Express that is about to be setup in the same way. You will see a Time Capsule icon on your screen when you run the setup wizard.

Has anyone else had this experience..any help in clearing this hiddering problem would very much appreciated

      I spotted this sollution from another user in relation to a similar problem:
    Quit the app then reset the iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    this work a treat..thanks to whoever it waas who originally posted this!

  • Whenever I try to open Firefox it says cannot establish connection, maybe your firewall is preventing us from accessing the web.

    Whenever I try to open Firefox it says cannot establish connection, maybe your firewall is preventing us from accessing the web. Even though I've let Firefox through my firewall, this message still appears. And whenever I try to redownload it, it just says installation failed. It does this with all installations... Is there something wrong with my computer? How do I fix it?

    Sometimes you only disable the user interface of security software, but the firewall or anti-virus services are still running in the background.
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • How to access Time Capsule 2013 disk from Windows 7

    I have seen several (older) threads that suggest that you can access the Time Capsule disk from Windows 7 using Windows Explorer and navigating to \\Time-Capsule-Name.  However, I have tried this repeatedly and just cannot get it to work. 
    Could this be a bug or unsupported in the latest 2013 Time Capsule?
    In Airport Utility, under Disks > File Sharing, I have Enable File Sharing checked.  The workgroup is WORKGROUP. 
    The IP address is 192.168.1.4.  I am able to ping it successfully; I just cannot access it through Windows Explorer.
    Am I missing something?  Please help!

    Are you running homegroup on the PC..??
    That should definitely be turned off!!
    Homegroup can mess things up.
    I would try with ipv6 off but that might make no difference at all.. leave it set to local-link if it doesn't do anything.
    There was issues when the Gen4 came out with security. Windows uses too high an encryption level..
    See info here.
    http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/changing-file-encryption-settings-on-a-win dows-7-h.pageCd-storyboard,pageNum-5.html
    Change to 40 or 56 bit encyrption.
    Unfortunately some of the controls you think you are setting on the TC are not really being set at all.. eg I doubt you are actually changing the workgroup.. if possible though you should have disk access set to lowest level .. device password and you should also turn on guest account to read and write.. that usually solved access for me in earlier TC .. I haven't bought an AC for the moment.. because.. well I believe I have done my time on the war front. I bled out already on the bleeding edge.. time for you to do it and I can reap the benefits on the second hardware revision and about the 10th firmware update.
    Other things I would try if the above don't work.
    Factory reset and start over.. you moved the IP of the TC and that is unwise.
    Do not worry about the various settings.. do the factory reset.. in full isolation from the internet. ie TC plugged into the windows computer. Nothing else in either..
    Now try at the default IP of the TC..
    \\10.0.1.1
    Beyond that you need another computer to try or some device. iOS would be fine... in normal situation you would test other protocols, eg ftp but TC offers only SMB and AFP.. there are no AFP clients for windows that I have heard of.. you might have success if you boot the PC from a linux live cd.. it should be able to read AFP even if it cannot write to it. But the SMB is more important. If linux can access with SMB protocol and windows cannot.. the issue is windws OS.
    Or iOS devices have some AFP file browsers available but again just test with SMB.. most file browsers for iOS use SMB.. if other devices can manage SMB protocol to open files on the TC then the finger points very clearly to the PC as the trouble.. on the other hand if nothing can access SMB then the TC is faulty and should be replaced.
