Access TC on WinXP SP3?
Can someone PLEASE help me?
I have a 1TB Time Capsule. It's connected to my Mac. It works perfect. However I attached an additional External hard drive to it and a printer (using a USB hub). It works on the Mac.
I have another Mac computer at home. I set up a wireless network (WPA2 protected) and I can access the additional external hard drive on the other Mac too (wirelessly) and the printer works and everything is just cool (w/ the Macs).
HOWEVER, I have a Windows XP SP3 computer at home. Tried so much crap. Installed Bonjour, AirPort Utility for Windows, but I couldn't connect to the Time Capsule. I mean I couldn't find the printer nor could I access the additional external hard drive that I want to access.
Everytime I try this error pops up: Unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype the login information or contact the disk's administrator (67).
Btw, the external hard drive is formatted HFS+. Which is fine. I read online that it should work on Windows it shouldn't matter b/c it's through the TC.
However, I tried changing HECK OF A LOTS settings in Airport Utility. No luck.
On the Windows XP computer whenever I tried to connect via the Airport Base Station Agent, IT NEVER WORKED. NOT ONCE.
However I did get the TC to appear in the Workgroup one time however it prompted for user/pass.. I created accounts in Airport Utility but it didn't work.. Tried sharing over WAN, etc..(set whole of a bunch setting), NOTHING WORKED... BESIDES one, it only worked when I checked the box - Allow Guest access read & write. But it only worked in Workgroup computers, (when I typed Guest for username and no password) and I couldn't find the printer, I could just access the external hard drive.
Even after enabling guest access, accessing the TC THROUGH Airport Base Station Agent NEVER worked. Not once. I added user account in Airport Utility w/ passwords, still same error. ALL THE TIME. Error 67.. EVEN WHEN I SELECTED CONNECT AS GUEST. It was one of the choices. Wow. Dumb..
Plus I would want my TC to be protected w/ a password and I don't want guest access.
How in the hell can I access my TC on WinXP SP3? So I could read the additional external hard drive media and see my printer?
Can someone give me EXACT settings that I need to set in AirPort Utility?
I checked my WinXP SP3 Firewall and has Bonjour, Airport and other stuff like that added to Exceptions. Still nothing.
I'm almost getting to the point of considering that the TC simply doesn't work for Windows XP. It's not fully capatible I guess. Like come on, wtf I've spent over 2 hours searching for a way and......
Someone, PLEASE...
