Hi all,

Just a quick question about my home network and if the Time Capsule will work for what I intend it to do.

Basically, I have a normal Virgin Media Cable connection, the modem is then connected to the router they supply. After this I have a Cat6 wire going to a small hub under the stairs, I've networked my house. This then sends another 5 wires to the rooms upstairs, one of course to mine. Now I have a ethernet wire but in my room I have 3 things which require an Ethernet connection, my Windows PC, Xbox 360 and my MacBook.

Will I be able to use the Time Capsule on my network and will it see the PC, Xbox 360 and MacBook, allow them to share the data stored on the Time Capsule, most notably songs etc and can the other computers on my network such as my Brothers Windows PC down the hallway see the Time Capsule?

Thanks

HamzaB
