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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

    I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house and the mobile WiFi is our only option). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

    LOL!!
    I am in Australia and the ISP... I think both the main ones would fit your description to a T.. big T in particular.
    Your router is really unsuitable.. if it is only wireless and no ethernet.. just buy an ethernet one.
    Do a search on ebay.. 3g router.
    But you can get the TC to join a wireless network.
    It is a non-standard setup that Apple will not support.. the option is hidden.
    If you are on Lion download the 5.6 utility. Go to the wireless set up page and hold down the option key whilst selecting wireless mode.. a new option, join will appear. You can then put in the ssid and passkey of the 3g router.
    But please note the end result of this setup..
    very slow speed. The TC is now a second wireless hop from your clients.. this will halve the speed.
    In this mode the ethernet are deactived.. for reasons only Apple know, they decided you should not use ethernet when doing this.

  • Windows Vista connects to TC/Airport, but not internet

    I have long had a Windows Vista notebook (HP Pavilion dv6000) connect well via a Time Capsule to the internet, along with a PowerBook G4. I recently added an iMac (27" 3.06 dual core) and all was well for a few days, but then had to reset the Pavilion's setting and I can now connect it to the TC/Airport network, but not the internet (I get a "Local only" notation). I've confirmed correct network passwords, tried repair mechanisms, and no luck. Anyone else have this problem?

    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.

  • How to connect airport time capsule through wireless internet

    Just purchased an Airport Time Capsule but having trouble to connect it through my Macbook Air using wireless. Could you please help? many thanks

    Make sure the MBA has ipv6 set to link-local only for wireless.
    I strongly recommend using short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    eg TCgen5 and TCwifi
    In fact if you keep having wireless issues.. with the MBA in the same room as the TC, change the wireless name to TC24ghz and TC5ghz so you have different names for both bands and see if that doesn't help.. try to connect to this band and then the other.
    Use WPA2 personal security.. password 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    Do not hide the wireless.. that is against the code and simply leads to issues.
    If you still have issues.. post back.. does the MBA work ok on other routers or wireless access points??

  • 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

  • IMac connected to Time Capsule but doesn't know it

    The strangest thing is happening right now. About an hour, I suddenly lost internet connectivity. One minute, things were fine, so I took a break. About 30 minutes later, I cam back and no internet. I tried leaving then rejoining the network. It worked, but didn't. The iMac logged on, showed it was connected, but wouldn't surf the web. So I checked on Macbook, just to see if my DSL was down. Nope, working fine on the Macbook. Went back to the iMac and saw a "!" in the wifi indicator. Upon closer inspection, I realized the iMac couldn't even see my Time Capsule (Airport Utility found no devices), but was still somehow logging in and getting a DHCP address. Then it would promptly lose it. I've tried restarting the Time Capsule, the DSL modem AND the iMac. None have fixed it. What's stranger, Airport Utility on my Macbook shows the iMac as connected (the MAC address is listed).
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I've never seen this before. The iMac is connected but doesn't know it. I have made no changes that would cause this. It was all of the sudden.
    Thanks in advance (and yes, I give stars).
    PS It is worth noting that I have 2 iPhones, an iPod Touch, a Macbook and a PC laptop as well. All "see" and connect to the wifi network, browsing the internet just fine. The iMac refuses to acknowledge the connection, despite the fact that it is active.

    Since you previously tried just restarting the iMac, what you did differently this time that worked was:
    Shutting down (powering off), then restarting.
    Resetting PRAM. Not sure if you did this because it is not the same as unplugging the iMac.
    Resetting SMC (power management). This IS basically unplugging and reconnecting power cord.
    The hardware involved in wireless networking may have needed to be reset. One of the above probably reset it. These are the formal procedures for resetting PRAM and SMC.

  • How do I connect my time capsule to the internet wirelessly

    I recently moved to a house where the internet is provided wielessly. So I don't have access to the modem to hook up my Time capsule. Is there away I can hook it up with out connecting it to a modem? If so how might I go about doing so?

    Go to the wireless area of the airport setup.. and select wireless mode but hold down the option key.
    A new option will present, join wireless network.
    This is really poor way to run the TC though. It will stop ethernet working. And you will double hop wireless to the TC.
    Would it be possible to have the TC standalone and plugged by ethernet into the computer.. that would be a much better solution. or for the time being just use external drive..

  • Why does Back To My Mac work for my Time Capsule, but not my MacBook?

    I'm having problems using Back To My Mac from work to my home network. Initially, I thought it was something to do with the way the work network had been set up, but recently I realised that I have no problems connecting to my Time Capsule… It's just that I can't connect to my MacBook Pro. It is showing up in the devices on the left panel, but when I try to connect to it, I get this message:
    So why can I connect to the Time Capsule HD okay, but not the Mac?

  • Green Light on my Time Capsule, but no internet

    My Time Capsule 802.11n Wi-Fi Hard Drive has a green solid light, but doesn't give internet. I have it connected to my Comcast Cable Modem, which is outputting internet. I don't know what step I'm missing to get my TC to give out wireless internet. Please help. Thank you.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Push the reset button on the modem and power it off
    Pull the battery from the cable modem if it's easily accessible
    Power off everything else in your network as well
    Leave the modem powered down at least 30 minutes
    Then power up the modem first and let it run a few moments by itself
    Then power up the AirPort Extreme the same way
    Finally, power up your computers one at a time the same way
    Any luck?

  • Connected to Airport Extreme but not internet

    Yesterday after returning from work, all of a sudden I couldn't get any internet access through my airport extreme. I could connect to it and play music through "airtunes".
    I looked at the settings of the airport BS and everything looked the way it should. After doing some trial and error I found out that I can get internet access through the airport BS when disabling "Distribute IP addresses".
    However with Distribute IP addresses unchecked, I can't get iTunes to connect to the airport allowing me to play music wirelessly through my stereo.
    Anyway, here's my setup:
    Airport:
    Wireless mode: Create a wireless Network (Home Router)
    Wireless security: WPA2 personal
    Channel: Automatic
    Create a closed network (checked)
    Mode: 802.11g Only
    Internet:
    Configure: Using DHCP
    Network:
    Distribute IP addresses (checked)
    Share a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT) checked
    USE 10.0.1.1 addressing
    With that setup I can play music through airtunes but not get any internet connection.
    Distribute IP addresses unchecked, I can get internet access but not play music through airtunes.
    Anybody has an idea what could be wrong?

    Yes. Disable that. Using that may make you feel good but the MAC addresses are easily discovered and cloned. Instead use WPA with a non-dictionary password.

  • HP 4600 connected to time capsule is NOT working after SL

    As a background, I connect my HP Laserjet 4600 to my Time Capsule using ethernet. From my macbook connected via Airport to the Time Capsule created network, I was able to print.
