Time Capsule Config

[Ellen]

As a new Time Capsule owner, I was hoping someone here might answer these questions for me. Thanks in advance!

1. My former external drive used to mount automatically on the desktop when I started my iMac. TC doesn't do that (because it is a shared device?); instead I have to open it in Finder and it then mounts. Is a setting that would achieve this automatically each time the iMac boots up?

2. With my former router I had to forward ports to use Transmission to download torrents. I was wonder if that's the case with TC and if so how do I adjust the setting. Thanks!

Finder->View

Check the box for "Connected Servers"

1) I put Time Capsule in my Login Items.
2) No clue.
