Are you obtaining IP addresses on your Macs automatically or are you setting them manually?

Im getting them automatically.

Before you reset your TC, did you unplug/reset your ISP modem? I would do that first, as I'm assuming you have TC in bridge mode ? so your modem is causing the conflict since it handles IP addresses not the TC. If your TC is not in bridge mode, ignore what I wrote except for just resetting your ISP modem.
