    You need to tell us a few things.

    1 do you have TC as the only router in the network.

    If this is not the case, the configuration is entirely via the main modem router combo.

    Without a public IP address on the interface wan everything that is your router, you will not be able to access it remotely. For the most part, wireless, satellite or internet shared building will not allow always remote access.

    2. double NAT will never work, so if you already have another router modem the TC must be in the bridge.

    3 Apple offers NO WAY for PC/windows remote access to the TC. Neither iOS btw... the Apple of the only method allows is AFP via a Mac.

    Local people do via SMB to TC port mapping... It is poor and does not always work.

    The tool used for iOS, filebrowser shows how this is possible.

    http://www.Stratospherix.com/support/gsw_timecapsule.php?page=6Remote


    I do not recommend this somehow... It's open ports in a way that reduces your security seriously.

    I repeat... Apple has no PC access.

    4. There is a safe way to do it... buy a vpn router and use before the TC. VPN is recognized global method for secure remote access. Who will work for any device having vpn client available... OpenVPN is the easiest in terms of cost, configuration and security.

    5. There is another method entirely, and that is to store the files you need to join in the cloud... Cloud is a better resource than to use your own router as Pseudo-nuage.

    If you eliminate the need for PC access then use BTMM for access to the TC.

    CCMM is authorized only and only the Apple method which are likely to work.

    Have you even tried yet?

    See Tesserax doco on remote access.

  • Cannot access the internet on a network Windows XP when Windows 7 goes to sleep

    Original title: Windows 7 Windows XP network problem.

    I replaced a Windows XP computer on my node 4 (2 PC, printer 2) cable network with a Windows 7 computer.  When the Windows 7 computer in mode 'sleep' the other (XP) computer cannot access the internet.  A message appears that there are 2 computers with the same IP address.  If I wake the computer 7 fine.  That is what it is?  I agree not all files between the computers.

    Hello

    It is usually the case when, for example, a router is off, but one or more of the devices connected to the router are left on.

    The devices to retain the ip address assigned to them, but when the router starts up again it has no knowledge of this. If when you start one of the other devices, the router can assign an ip address already in use. Concrete example that I reproduced with my router and the PC...

    • Start the router, then boot PC1 and PC2 - the router (192.168.1.1) will allocate for PC1 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 to PC2
    • Turn off the router, then turn off PC2, restart and shut off again
    • Put the PC1 to sleep
    • Start the router and PC2, the router does not PC1 and allocate 192.168.1.2 to PC2
    • PC1 to wake up and there still 192.168.1.2 who now is a confrontation with PC2

    Other ways to reproduce this situation may also be possible.

    All devices on your network must have a unique ip address, where the warning message.

    If you get this situation once again, the solution is to turn off all devices, including the router, then restart the router, then restart all devices connected to the router.

    To avoid this, you may be able to put ip Reservations for your router address which will ensure that all devices connected to the router always get the same ip address (unique). If you are unsure how to proceed, we will need your router brand and model to help.

  • HELP linksys wireless USB adapter: (model # WUSB54GC) "acquiring network address" not actually connect to the internet! ?? Windows xp pro

    Hello. Ive been at this for 4 days now, I can't find a solution. I'll try to remember as much as possible regarding what ive tried.

    here goes...

    long story short, due to unfortunate system errors, I have reinstalled my OS XP home to xp pro. PC works great now! problem is... now my wireless adapter wont connect to the internet.

    When I had xp home edition installed, I could just plug in the adapter, and a few seconds, it would connect to the favorite network. (with all settings on Auto) no problem.

    now that ive put in OS, it's just cycling "absorbing the network address" infinitely...

    his watch the access point, the preferred network, showing the signal strength and do not show errors in Device Manager. right-click and choosing fix do not work. It gets stuck @ renewing IP address scene. its not send or receive packets under status.

    He EXPECTED to be functional? It uses a 10-digit WEP key.

    Ive tried both the linksys wireless monitor and the windows zero configuration utilites.i since removed the lynksys software screen because it never worked anyway. WZC is that used to work on xp family.

    I used " ipconfig/all" to determine the values of the network on the host pc. I tried manually punching in those values (IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS settings, according to the suggestion of a networking of friends) on the adapter wireless itself; using tci/ip options. still does not connect.

    Ive tried different USB ports, all that seems to do is to change the number of the wireless connection.

    It just does not connect to the internet.

    I have the driver I need for this after contacting linksys. I also disabled windows firewall and the firewall/antivirus of 3rd party associated with the network.

    He knows questions w / windows xp professional and this particular wireless adapter? (WUSB54GC) that's the only reason why I can think of that is not connected.

    what I forget? internet hard wiring of an ethernet port is not an option because there is no ethernet card installed in the pc.

    any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

    Thank you.

    Sorry it took so long for me to return.

    It was a setting under working group which had to be adjusted from reinstalling windows. (something that has been disabled I forgot, don't remember what it was since its been like 3 weeks)

    that he got the running dhcp... That is to say. allowed 4 dependence to work progrmas, boom, problem solved.

    the adapter now works with the automatic settings, using WEP encryption. as it should, and it was.

    Thank you very much for the replies, I appreciated the help.

  • Cannot access the internet with bridged network - Windows 7 64 bit host, XPSP3 comments

    I use VMPlayer v3.0.1 build-227600 on a PC under Windows 7 64-bit. My guest operating system is Windows XP Professional w/SP3.

    I read all the messages on the use of NAT for the guest operating system can access the internet. But when I do that my guest is unable to access my Oracle server on my network. If I use Bridged my guest can access my Oracle server, but it cannot access the internet! How can I fix it? Shouldn't VMPlayer allow the guest OS to access the network and the internet? I need these two features.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    the simplest solution would be to add a second NIC to your comments, so that you can have bridged and NAT at the same time

    This is not normal.

    First of all, the installation of 14 elements, you should have received a message to allow automatic conversion of catalogues (I assume that you install PSE14 on the same computer).

    Try the Organizer while keeping the SHIFT key. You get a message with options, including to open a new catalog? If so, the problem persists?

    Reset the preferences or reinstallation may be necessary.

    When I go to play the songs in iTunes a lot of my songs (mastered and uploaded) are grayed out and I can't play. For example, when I press shuffle play only items not greyed out. Sometimes, the album is grayed out and will not play. This has never been a problem until recently. I used to love iTunes, now with each update, it seems more confused. Help please. Thank you.

    Switch to the view of songs. The greyed out, you saw previously correspond to unchecked items? If for Cmd-click any empty box must all check.

  • The Add links and add server behaviors are grayed out and not usable.

    Good evening everyone,

    As indicated in the title, I am trying to add a record set to my project, and it is not giving me the option.  First of all, let me tell you what I use:

    Dreamweaver CS6

    XAMPP server running PHP and MYSQL

    Shows connection to the database and can be used in Dreamweaver.

    Site is built in PHP, and a .php page is currently being developed.

    Everything I have read during the last hours 3 research that said I should have links to a + link, unfortunately I do not have.

    No idea where the problem fixed so that I can continue on with the design of the site?

    Thanks in advance,

    James

    Well, I'm not sure if this is a permanent problem or not, but if other people with this problem can't seem to find an answer, try this one and let me know if it works for you.  I got antsy waiting for a response and just start playing with everything I possibly could, and that's what I did.

    When I clicked on the links, the + is grayed out, but gave me some options on how to do.

    Said one of these options to set up the test server with the words "test server" sites in blue.

    I never clicked this option, because my test server has already been put in place, and showing as connected, but I clicked on it in any case.

    He opened my server that was already there in, I hit then save... and voila!  All of a sudden, my bindings and behavior of server + worked!
