Unable to browse network shares after installing Time Capsule

After installing my time capsule I am no longer able to browse the other computers on my network. I can ping them just fine but when I try to see them under "shared" or to brows to the ip address, it doesn't display the other computers. It sees the Time capsule just fine. The other computers are hooked up to the time capsule as well. One Computer is windows XP based and the other is Windows Vista. When I boot into my Windows XP (via boot camp) the other computers show up just fine and I'm able to touch the shared files. Its just the mac side that is not seeing them. They are all connected via ethernet cable connection. I appreciate any help to solving this. Thanks.

Make sure that the shares are unmounted before you sleep and see if it makes a difference. Not that it's a fix, just curious on how it reacts to see what could be going on.
Another good piece of information to get is to open Terminal and do a 'df'. See if you have any volumes mounted. They'll look like //Username@IP/Share and mounted to /Volumes/Sharename or /Volumes/Sharename-XX.
Try a 'sudo umount /Volumes/Sharename' and see if it gives you any errors back or dismounts it cleanly.

After installing Time Capsule internet connection slow

Since I installed Time Capsule on my Mac, my internet connection started acting up. The web browsing is VERY SLOW, and applications that are web-based no longer work properly. For instance, I have an EyeFi Wireless Explore SD card and the related EyeFi Manager software that allows me to wirelessly transfer my photos on the eyefi card to the eyefi website, as well as my photo service (Kodak Gallery or Flickr) and also transfers the photos to my Mac. Before I set up my Time Capsule, the eyefi system worked flawlessly. Now the uploads hang up and do not complete. I also have very slow progress trying to use my webmail, or loading webpages in general. I use the Safari browser.
My Time Capsule is set up as a separate wireless network, so I access the internet thru my original home wireless network. Is anyone having the same issues after installing Time Capsule, and does anyone have a solution?

Try doing a Safe Mode reboot by holding down the Shift key when you hear the start-up tone. When the progress bar appears you can release the key. A Safe Reboot will clear some of the caches, it's possible one became corrupt. If that doesn't work do both a SMC and PRAM reset, you may need to do each 2-3x.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Many problems after installing Time Capsule

I am not sure if this is the correct forum. I posted it on the iCloud forum, but think it belongs here. I wasn't able to move it.
Here is my story:
Where do I start!
MacBook Pro ~2009
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
About the time I installed Time capsule, I started to have the following problem. At fist, i thought the problem as iCloud.
Here is my problem:
1. Can't get iCloud email on my Mac [I can ob my iPhone 4S]
2. I keep getting an error accessing any website: Safari can't verify the identity of the website... This includes Apple.com
3. In my Key Chain, the passwords for Me.com are long apparently random numbers.
4. I can't access any iCloud email from my iCloud that was associated with my ME account. I hahe a secondiCloud account which appears fibe.
5. I can't even open iCloud on Safari. As soon as iCloud shows up on the screen, It says that iCloud had unexpectidly stopped.When i hit the reload option, the error message returns... over and over.
6. When i tried to opem iCloud on Google Chrome, I get a HUGE error message on a red page saying "The server's certificate is no valid!"
There are probably more symptoms that occured, but I am so frustrated I may have forgotten.
Oh yeaf, a week ago I got a new Apple Time Capsile 2T
Maybe it's not iCloud?!?
EDIT: THis did not happen when I first got the TIme Capsule. It started 2 days ago. I also got a message about setting up Back To My Mac, but I only have one Mac [I don't mean that having multiple Macs is an asperation, because I am thourily pleased having "just one Mac", and an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3; That's quite a blessing!]
MacBook Pro, iOS 5.1.1

Easy like beauty when it comes to Networking is in the eye of the beholder.
Your issue is probably double NAT.. the TC should have thrown up warning messages.
On lion
Step one.. install 5.6 utility. And use that exclusively.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
It will be familiar if you used any previous version of airport utility.
Open the manual setup.. go to Internet tab.. go to connection sharing at the bottom..
The TC must be set to off bridge mode. If not, select that and update the TC.
Now everything is going to totally mess up.. don't worry.. start again by rebooting the entire network.. ie everything off.. not sleep.. not semi-consious.. off. Restart in order.. with 2 min wait.. Modem.. router.. TC.. other network rubbish.. (if you have switch and the like).. clients.
Now try again with emails etc.
I am hopeful.

Forgot partition after installing time capsule.

I installed Time Capsule on my airport.
I did not realize that I had to make a partition first, as it is now using my full 2 TB.
What should I do now as I only want 500GB to use for Time Capsule and the rest as hard disk.
Please advice next steps.
Thanks in advance

Guy,
Here is a link on how to limit the size of your TM backup.
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20071108020121567
This may be a better option than creating a disk image for your data.
I think I'll try this myself with my TM backup.

Wifi doesn't automatically connect after installing Time Capsule

I've been having problems wifi connectivity on both of my MacBook Pros since installing a 2TB Time Capsule. They lose the wifi connection when they go to sleep/restart and I must manually select the wifi network to connect (and it takes AWHILE for it to pop up). Both are running Mountain Lion.
I know there are a lot of wifi connectivity issues out there, but I wonder if mine is different since it happened directly after installing the Time Capsule.
Also, and I'm not sure if its related, but I no longer have the Airport option in my network preferences...nor is it there when I try to "+" a new one.
Any suggestions?

I had this problem for months. My Macbook Pro wouldn't reconnect to my wifi after sleep. Eventually found the solution - for me anyway. I switched off the 5GHz frequency on my router. I have a BT router and it operates on 2.4 GHz and 5GHz. Straight after I disabled 5GHz, it never had a problem reconnecting after sleep after that. Simple as that. I'll paste the link to the article I found below but this forum may remove it.

I can't see my network Printers when i installed Time Capsule

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I had a wireless network using my NetGear router so i can share internet and two network printers. The network printers are connected to the router using ethernet wires. Now that i installed Time Capsule i can't get the Network Printer to print.

I did what you said, made sure that both network printers where turned on connected to TC and ready to print, then i opened my system Preference, Print & Fax, i removed my two printers that where there before and working, then hit the plus sign, add printer, here's what's different, my MacBook Pro, under AppleTalk and one of my printers can up and it now works but the other didn't. So on my iMac i tried the same thing but no printer showed up under AppleTalk, i did find the two printers under "Default" and Bonjour was under "kind" i said install to both and it did. I just tried printing to both printers and now i have two bouncing printer icons on my doc with a massage " Attempting to connect to host 192.168.1.10" for one of the printers and the second "Attempting to connect to host XRX92CABD.local." i'm starting to think that i didn't set up the TC correctly or i have some option in TC setup wrong.

E4200 Can't see my network shares after upgrade

I can't see my network shares after upgrade altough everything works fine , the network scanner shows all the atatched devices but in Eplorer when I click Network there is nothing shown on two computers running Win7 64.
I did downgraded the firmware back to .01 but still no network .
Any help ?

After upgrading the firmware did you reset the E4200? After successful firmware upgrade you need to reset the router. It is recommended to reset the router once. Steps to reset the router:
Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
After reset, reconfigure the router and then check the connectivity status…

Problem installing time capsule

Installing time capsule for the first time and get a flashing amber light, airport utility cant find the device - any help?

If you haven't already, connect directly to the TC using ethernet. Then try the utility again.. if it still fails, turn off wireless in the computer and make sure there is nothing else connected.. ie this is off the network.. one computer one TC.. nothing else. If you still have issues press the reset again and let it go back to factory defaults,, it should then be found.. if it fails, check the ethernet cable, connectivity leds, or use a different computer.

Many posts give minimal information but I think you probably should receive the grand prize.. least info ever delivered in a post.
From your post I know that you installed a time capsule. I have no idea how or to what.
That your printer.. type model connection all unknown now does not work..
Sorry but the crystal ball is totalled and the other black arts of which wireless is perhaps one, is off-limits.
Minimum info needed.
What printer?
Connected how?
Is it still available on the network? Can you ping it?
Just the facts please.

How can I make the 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port on my Airport Express work as a LAN-port? The AE is currently extending my network (generated by a Time Capsule)

Dear all.
I currently have a WIFI-network established by a Time Capsule. I want to use my Airport Express as WIFI-receiver for my Samsung TV. How do I pair them up so that the 10/100BASE-T ethernet port works as a LAN-port? I used to do it by setting it up as WDS but I understand this is not suitable for a "n" network.
Thx.

Under the wireless settings for the TIme Capsule, make sure that there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Then configure the AirPort Express to "Extend a wireless network". The Ethernet port on the Express is automatically enabled in this type of configuration and the AirPort Express will also provide more wireless coverage in the area where it is located.
See Apple's instructions in the link below. The iilustration shown in the support document shows an AirPort Extreme as the extending device, but the setup for the AirPort Express would be exactly the same

Use Network ready printer with Time Capsule?

Recently bought a laser all in one Canon printer that was network ready. Canon tech support told me it would not be compatible with Time Capsule (500 GB) as the wireless source. Is this true?
If true, what printer brands will network easily with the Time Capsule?
Thank you!
In search of new printer

Welcome to the discussions!
If the all-in-one is "network ready", it will have an ethernet port to connect to the network. It will need to connect by ethernet if you want to be able to use the scan, fax, copy, etc functions.
If you are planning to connect the all-in-one to the Time Capsule USB port, the printing function will work if the device is compatible. The other functions will not be supported.
