Well, refreshed in the morning myself, I have an idea. Looking at the Time Capsule manual, they don't mention this, but imply that you have to connect to the Time Capsule (set up as a normal wireless router) to use it for backup. So, I believe your solution is this: --Internet-->[Verizon Router]<--->[TC (as router)]<--->(ethernet)--- >[Air.Exp. (as bridge to TC)] Set up your Time Capsule as a router, (the default mode) to serve addresses to your local network, it will route all the clients to the Verizon router for internet access, and the Airport Express will then connect via ethernet to one of the LAN ports on the TC instead of the Verizon box. The Airport Express is set up in bridged mode, as it is now, no changes will be needed beyond a restart, I expect. This will make the network managed by the TC as the LAN for all your client systems, and I think this should work for letting you use a wireless system on the AE use the TC for backups. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
