[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1383839, member: 131855"] The Time Capsule can be used over Ethernet. I do it daily since my Mac Book Pro is only a few feet from the Time Capsule. Not quite sure exactly why it is not showing with the wifi off. I suspect it is something basic in the network setup that needs minor tweaking. Couple of questions come to mind. 1. Can you describe your basic network setup? Are there other routers/devices involved? 2. If you are in Finder and use the Go menu and select Network does the TC appear at all? 3. Is your Time Capsule set up to extend a network wirelessly? In some versions of the Time Capsule setting it to extend a network wirelessly deactivates the Ethernet ports. [/QUOTE]
