Hi guys I have a time capsule that I forgot about I have just dug it out and would like to set it up to work with my powerbook and my girlfriends intel macbook. How do I go about doing this as I have never set one up before. Will my powerbook support it? I was hoping I could connect it via ethernet to my wireless router and then have both the powerbook and macbook using it. Is this possible and if so how do I go about setting it up?

For backup using Time Machine: Mac computer with OS X v10.5.7 or later

For shared printing with a USB printer: USB printer; Mac with OS X v10.2.7 or later

It should work fine. You pretty much need to just plug and play it.
