Time Capsule configuration issues

same problem

Just wanted to chime in and bump this thread to the top... I have the exact same questions. Bought a modem, and can't figure out how to get the Time Capsule to handle the DHCP and NAT.

 

OP: If you'd still like to change your config (and if your problem persists), I have figured it out - I had to put the modem in Bridge Mode (In order to do this you have to connect to the modem directly via ethernet and set it up; once it's set up this way it becomes "transparent") and Choose Connect to the internet using "PPPoE" instead of "Ethernet" in the Airport utility (enter the user/pass provided by your ISP).

I also had to choose a different range of IP addresses for the DHCP server so that I would not get the DHCP range error message and could apply the changes. Once the Time Capsule had restarted, It reported problems for a short moment but then went green. The external IP address then shows up in the Airport Utility directly.

 

Hello,

I have recently purchased a New 2 TB TC.

I have configured it as a Wireless Client on my already existing WLAN and using WPA.

I have flawless access to the internal drive as both additional storage and with Time Machine.


I have located it by my Dish Receiver and Pioneer Receiver and have them hard wired to the TC Gigabit Ports (Not using WAN port). I do have green lights however no access from those devices for Lan or Internet.

Schema:

ip - 192.168.2.x (TC is 104) (Tried DHCP and receivers receive null and with Static settings same result)
subnet - 255.255.255.0
gateway - 192.168.2.1

DNS

166.102.165.11
166.102.165.13

if this cannot be accomplished I will need to go purchase an Airport Extreme as my router and configure TC to extend - I suppose I could drop the cash if I had to.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance - Chris

 

Found this forum to offer interesting scenario's:

I am up and running perfect.*

I have replaced my buffalo technologies access point with the time capsule and placed it in the family room so my dish and pioneer receiver is hard wired to it.*

In the bedroom I have installed an Airport Express and an 8 port switch and hooked my bd player, dish and pioneer receiver to it.*

All problems solved I about 2 hours which includes the trip to Best Buy.

 

Um, I'd really like to see the linked thread, but the URL was reduced to where it doesn't go where it was supposed to. ::grin::

Thanks!
