I haven’t had a chance to blog much over the last week or so. My wife and I moved to a new apartment, and as such have been wrapped up in all the excitement that surrounds that type of thing. Nonetheless, we’ve finally gotten moved, gotten the web back up and running, and although I haven’t posted much I have been working up a number of quick drafts which I will be turning into finished pieces over the course of this week.
We got moved in a few days ago, but just got our internet up and running yesterday. This was due to my Apple Time Capsule screwing up. So I thought I would take my first blog and write up what the Time Capsule was doing and what fixed it.
So I hooked up the Time Capsule after we got our internet turned on and all, but each time it started it would show that there were network settings problems. The issue turned out to be that on each restart the Time Capsule was assigning itself an IP address. I’m not a network guy, in fact there are few things that can piss me off quicker than having to deal with networking issues, so I have no idea why this is a bad thing.
Google indicates that I’m not the first person to deal with this issue. But out of all the solutions I found online none of them worked for me. Hence my post here. After a couple days of no luck and building hatred for Apple, who I now love again, I just reset the Time Capsule back to its factory settings and reset up the network and all. My backup on the time capsule was not effected.
To reset the Time Capsule in Snow Leopard go to Applications > Utilities > and Airport Utitlity (I think this is the same for Tiger). When the application opens choose continue, and then choose to restore the Time Capsule to the factory settings. Afterwards, follow the steps. They’re pretty simple. Once everything was set back up it ran perfect and continues to do so. Don’t know why it happened, and honestly don’t care as long as I can access popcap.com.
