Windows machine cannot see TC/AP network

I've set up TC to run a network and everything works fine with my Macbook Air. The problem is that my windows machine can't even see the network created? The SSID is being broadcasted since I can see it with my mac. If I plug in the old router, I can see it with both machines.
Airport utility is installed on the PC but it can't even find the device and it is within 20 feet. I've reset the TC and tried a number of settings but no luck. I've ensured it broadcasts as b/n.
Any ideas?

Did you the same wpa password as your previous router? The SSID isnt hidden on Time Capsule is it?

  • One Machine cannot see 5 Ghz network

    Hey folks;
    Situation is this:
    Have a 500 gb TC broadcasting 5 Ghz 802.11n only network. My MacBook Pro sees this network and connects to it fine. My partner's Sony Vaio running Vista does not see the network, at all! It's not even as if she can see it but can't talk to it but it just doesn't appear. Manually entering the SSID did no good (which I wouldn't imagine it would but had to be certain so I tried).
    I've already checked with Vaio support and they were only slightly more useful in troubleshooting this than my cats would be.
    To make matters more interesting, we have a Belkin N1 router broadcasting a 802.11n (b/g compatible) at 2.4 Ghz which she can connect to just fine without any problems. It goes without saying that the MBP can connect to any network.
    The two networks, DK and DK5Ghz are using different channels (9 and 36 respectively) and I turned off wide channels (reluctantly) on the TC wireless.
    The issue here is that the TC hosts the shared network drive (a Hitachi EAS) and the printer. No second, high speed network, no printer, no shares. Since the only wireless way of making the TC/TM combination work in anything like a timeframe I'm at all willing to deal with, I am loathe to make the TC network join the slower n/g/b network because I've noticed a measurable improvement in TM backup performance using the 5Ghz network (as I should). Any ideas any of you folks might have would be appreciated.
    Oh and before anyone asks, I verified that the wireless card in the Vaio does support 802.11n (in point of fact, she connected to that network once but has been unable to do so since that first time).
    Cheers

    I am having a similar problem and could use some help. I have an new iMac and an older iBook G4 and recently purchased a 500 GB Time Capsule (TC).....here is the problem:
    I have tried to reconfigure my TC to Radio Mode: 802.11n only (5 GHz) to get away from 2.4 GHz phone interference in my house. When I make this change using my iMac, the iMac can see and connect to the 5 GHz network. BUT my iBook G4 (1.42 GHz Power PC G4 with 1 GB ram and running OSX 10.5.4) can't see this 5 GHz network. When I switch back to the default 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) network the iBook sees and connects to this 2.4 GHz newtwork.
    I know the simplest solution would be to buy a 5.8 GHz telephone and keeps my network configured to 2.4 GHz....but before I crack open the wallet, is there any other solutions? Thanks.

  • Lion-Windows users cannot see attachments

    I just upgraded to Lion, and now some Windows users cannot see/find attachments. I did all that was advised (clicking on the "Windows user friendly" list), but to no avail. I sent to several Windows users and no one can see attachments with the new Mail program. Also, one of the most important icons in the Mail toolbar ("Add Attachment") seems to be missing. This sometimes helped in previous Mail versions when sending to PCs, but I cannot locate it in Lion. Looks like I will have to use Microsoft Office Outlook for email. This is too bad, as I like the other features the new Apple Mail program has, but must use a trustworhty email program.

    Scott,
    The issue is one I am chasing, and is due to Lion's change to not send Plain Text (apparently).  Although changed in the Compose window, when reviewed, it will have been sent with HTML, anyway.
    While the actual problem is with MS and Outlook or Outlook Express, the work around once was to use the command to Make Plain Text before sending.

    Your wifi network is not working. Restart it. Delete your wifi settings for this network via System Preferences, Network, WiFi, Advanced. Reconfigure and try again.

  • Windows machine cannot view hard drive connected to mac.

    All,
    I've tried to search with no luck.
    I'm working in a serverless mac/pc environment. I have a mybook attached via firewire to a mac used for backup purposes. All of the pc's in the office can connect to the mac and it's primary hard drive. They cannot see, let alone connect to, the additional hard drive. All of the macs in the office have the option of choosing a volume when mounting the mac in question. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jared

    By default, only directories on the boot drive are
    available to network clients.
    If you're using SMB (which is the standard in Windows
    networks), you need to specifically configure the SMB
    server to tell it to share additional directories on
    the external drive.
    The easiest way to do this is to get a copy of SharePoint
    s, a GUI front end to the AFP and SMB server
    daemons.
    Camelot - Thanks for the tip, but I am having trouble completing your suggestion - Is it possible to see other Mac hard drives on an XP machine and if so - what is the step by step and what do you expect to see once it is set up and from the XP side of things what sort of set up is required - is there instructions on this somewhere that you know of or is it something that you yourself have the time to answer? Thhanks.

  • Windows Vista cannot see Time Capsule

    I had a network setup via Time Capsule with iMac, Macbook Pro and PC running Vista Business. I have lost internet connectivity on the PC and Airport utility cannot see Time Capsule. The PC is connected to Time Capsule via etherenet. How can I fix this?

    ONE PROBLEM THOUGH. I believe ONLY PROFESSIONAL versions of windows have the local policies acceptable. This means all of us using HOME editions are screwed.
    Home Edition users would have to perform a Registry edit as follows:
    1. Open registry editor (ref: Start > Search > Enter: regedit)
    2. Browse to HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    3. Create a new DWORD value with the following properties: NAME = LmCompatibilityLevel & VALUE = 1
    4. Restart your PC and try the connection again...

  • Windows XP and Windows 7 cannot see my WRT610N USB Drive

    I have the WRT610N V2 router with current firmware.  I have tried a thumb drive and an IOMEGA 1tb drive.  In both cases the router sees the drive, allows me to create partitions, groups, and users but the computers in my home cannot see the drive.  I tried the Network wizard and explorer drive map option.  I even tried start/run typing wrt610n or \\wrt610n and I get network path cannot be found.  I have three computers in the house, one (XP) with Norton 360, one (XP) with SOFOS and one with no AV sw at all (Win7).  None of these can see the network path.
    What am I missing? 
    Thanks
    Dan

    To map the drive on your computer click on Start - RUN - type "\\192.168.1.1" and click ok... When prompted for Username and Password type "admin" and click ok... Now you will be able to see the folder which you have shared on  your router, right click on it and select "Map network drive" and click on finish.
    Now it will map the drive on your computer and you should be able to transfer the file from your computer to the USB drive.

  • Mac OS 10.6/Time Machine cannot 'see' HD to re-install or restore

    Upgraded my Mac Mini to Snow Leopard a couple weeks ago and had no problems. Then yesterday the computer froze up (the mouse still moved and icons in the dock expanded with the mouse but NOTHING was acknowledged when clicking to tabbing to any commands; could not even click from screen to screen for various functions that were currently open ... yet the mouse moved fine). Tried to restart computer and all I get now is a gray screen with a flashing file folder with a question mark in it.
    Have tried all attempts listed here and in Support to (1) re-install Mac OS X 10.6 from the original disk, and (2) restore my computer from my Time Machine. Have tried many, many times now for both options and in ALL cases the computer cannot see or find my computer. The only disks it can find to re-install or re-store to are the 2 external hard drives I have. If I disconnect these, the computer can find NO disks to re-store to. (I've now let my system search for disks for over 3 hours this time around, and it still cannot find any disks to install to.)
    So what's happened to my Mac Mini and "where" has this disk gone to? Why can't my Time Machine or Mac OS X installation disk find (or see) my Mac Mini?
    (Really do need a new computer and was seriously thinking about just buying the new iMac this week, so maybe this is the sign. But would still like to get the last few files off my Mac Mini that I was working on when it crashed -- don't think Time Machine actually had time to back these up ...)
    Cheers, and thanks for any suggestions and help!

    It sounds like you are having trouble with your internal Hard Drive.
    Whilst this is quite serious, sometimes you can fully recover from the situation, depending on what happened.
    One of the most useful and reliable rescue utilities is DiskWarrior:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11707/diskwarrior
    If you are lucky it may be something as simple as a damaged HFS+ wrapper, which can be repaired and have you back up on your feet again in relatively short order.
    It pays to periodically check the *S.M.A.R.T. Status* of your drive, at the bottom of *Disk Utility.*
    This is a self diagnosis function that may indicate impending problems. However if the disk has sustained physical damage, such as caused by a hard knock, nothing will redeem it.

  • Windows user cannot see files copied into a folder

    File share is on a Windows 2008 (R1) server.  
    We use shared folders as mailboxes for users.  When the file scanning person (Heidi) scans the incoming paper mail, it is placed in each user's individual mail folder on a shared drive.  Each user has full control permissions on their mail folder.
     All of our users are running Windows 7 Pro x64, with the exception of two people who run Windows XP SP3.  Heidi is one of those users.  
    Angela has a mail folder with full control permissions.  When Heidi scans something from her desktop and places it in Angie's mail folder, Angela cannot see it from her computer.  Anyone else can see it fine.
    I set up a Windows 7 VM and logged in as Angela and I can see the file with no problems.  So the only time Angie can't see her files is when she's logged in to her computer in her own office.  Anyone know why?  

    Hi,
    You did not mentioned the system version of Angela so I assume it is a Windows 7 system.
    There is a known issue when Windows 7 users accessing a folder, newly created or deleted files are not updated immediately. Please test the following hotfix.
    SMB2 directory cache is not updated correctly if a file is deleted in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2646563/en-us
    Also the rollup update is always recommended to be installed:
    An enterprise hotfix rollup is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

  • Accessing windows machine from mac on home network

    Having serious file sharing issues...any help would be welcomed...
    I have a hybrid wired / wireless home network with one powermac, one pc and several laptops.
    The laptops are all networked wirelessly through a time capsule (and no problem at all).
    The powermac is in the living room connected via a router to the wall socket which in turn is connected to a cisco router in the basement which in turn is connected to the att uverse network router.
    The pc is connected to an output of the time capsule.
    Both the powermac and pc both have perfect internet performance...
    But neither machine can see the other...
    I presume it's because they're both on different routers, but surely there must be a way to set up all the routers etc that they realize that they're on the same network and force them to be nice? I'm sure larger networks have this configuration all the time...
    If you can point me to some detailed guides how to do this or maybe an old posting...(I've already search a couple hours) I'd be grateful...

    You need to create a bridge between the two networks and then point the IP and DNS addresses created by the bridge to each of the client machines. In your case it is the PC and Mac. Once they have the same router address and their IP's are on the same network scanning "list", they will see each other. In order to make this work you need:
    A bridge hardware device (http://z.about.com/d/compnetworking/1/0/H/3/linksys_wet54gv2-400.jpg)
    A good amount of time to configure it properly
    Best of luck and you may want to place the bridge in your home in the more central location where the laptops will be.

  • Cannot see iPhone on network

    I have a new iPhone5 and a year old MBA.  The MBA was just recently upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (the latest).
    When I use the MBA network utility to try and ping my iPhone (which is on my home wifi network) ... it isnt visible.  The iPhone connects to the network fine.  The MBA is connected to the network.  The reason I am trying to resolve this is that the eWallet application doesnt want to synch and it seems to be because the desktop app cannot 'see' the iPhone app.
    Any ideas on why the iPhone is invisible?  BTW, I have confirmed it is on the network as I can see it using the Linksys E2000 web admin tool.

  • Cannot see any Wireless networks

    After installing the latest security update for 10.3.9, I can no longer see any wireless networks. I have tried reseating my airport card along with unpluging the antenna with no luck. I have also repaired permissions and trashed the Network Interface preference file, again nada. Another suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    I have a relatively new Airport Express base station at home and I have also tried testing the connection at several wireless hotspots.

    I had the same problem and that's why I ventured here for the first time after an hour's battle this morning.
    My solution: restart the computer. Just when the menu has gone out of sight, you get the Keychain pop-up box informing you that the airport application has been changed and whether you wish to allow Keychain access to this new version as well. Here's the tricky part. You must react within 1 (one) second to the pop-up screen and click the "always allow"-button. Once the computer has rebooted, you should have access to your Airport network once more.
    Clunky? Yes. With me, the problem was even more bizarre. I could see my trusted network in the Airport drop-down menu but even if the computer seemed to connect to it, I couldn't get an IP. Sometimes the whole upper right corner icon bar would freeze if I tried connecting.
    Puzzling? You bet. I'm rather perplexed as to why I couldn't just solve this problem by removing and re-adding the Airport Keychain entry with the new version. I can only conclude: thank you, Apple, for making patches that work.
    Experienced people: how do I relay my bug report to Apple?

  • Windows 7 machine cannot see files on mac os x 10.4 server

    We can connect, but not see shared folders or files. PC machine is running Windows 7 professional, server is running 10.4.1.
    Any thoughts?

    Mac OS X file sharing
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106461
    There are 3 methods Mac OS uses to share folders:
    -- Windows shares
    -- native Mac shares
    -- Unix shares
    The Mac OS client shares the the public folder. You may try putting an alias in your public folder to the flash drive.  To share the flash drive directly, you need SharePoints.
    The Mac OS X client version contains most of the sharing software. It doesn't contain an extensive GUI for manipulating the software configuration.
    "SharePoints is an application or a preference pane that makes it easy to add and delete share points like in the old Finder. In Mac OS X, by default, you are limited to sharing only what is in your public folder in your home directory. This program makes it easy to share any folder."
    http://www.hornware.com/sharepoints/
    Mac OS includes support for NFS, the native Unix network file sharing system.  You may share files between Mac OS X systems with NFS  as well as other Unix  Systems.   However, the documentation on how you make the shares is rather limited.  Once you learn how to configure the net info database with the netinfo command, the shares are not too hard to make.
    I used this program.
    "NFS Manager provides a clearly laid out graphical user interface to almost all built-in NFS functions of Mac OS X. Using NFS features becomes very easy."
    http://www.bresink.com/osx/143439-2/details.html
    or
    http://www.bresink.de/osx/NFSManager.html
    details that are way beyond me.
