[QUOTE="TangerineKey, post: 1214566, member: 197547"] [b]Time Capsule and Computer on Different Networks[/b] I purchased a Time Capsule for the sole purpose of backing up my MacBook Pro. My husband's computer (a Dell) is connected to the internet by cable and my computer, printer etc all work off a wifi network. For my first Time Capsule backup I used the ethernet cable from my husband's computer. After struggling to do this and finally figuring out how to properly reset the Time Capsule, I was able to do a first backup. I would like to do all future back ups wirelessly. Every backup attempt since the initial successful one has failed. The message that I get is that the Time Capsule and the computer may be on different networks. I did not desire to set up a second or alternate wifi network. (And I don't desire to add the Dell to a secondary or alternate network.) How can I get my time capsule and computer to talk to each other over my existing wifi network? If I should be considering a 2nd wifi network or replacing my current network, I need to understand why and have simple instructions for a novice. Other Info: During the set up of Time Capsule I selected to join an existing wifi network MacBook Pro 5 3 OS X 10.6.7 Linksys router Time Capsule 1 TB [/QUOTE]
