Using Back to My Mac on your AirPort network

If you have a MobileMe account, you can use Back to My Mac to access your AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule. You can access the base station or Time Capsule to monitor the network, or make changes to the base station or Time Capsule settings.

You can also access the hard disk built into the Time Capsule, or an external USB hard disk connected to the base station or Time Capsule.

To set up Back to My Mac:

  1. Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Mac, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a Windows computer.

  2. Select the base station or Time Capsule from the list, and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station or Time Capsule password if necessary.

  3. Click Advanced in the toolbar, and then click MobileMe.

  4. Enter your MobileMe member name and password.
