Suffice to say it works like this: p1. Launch the AirPort Utility (which is used for configuring Time Capsule). p2. Click on "Other Base Stations" button in the upper right of the main window. p3. Choose "James's Home Time Capsule" from the pop-up menu. p4. A configuration window opens. Make changes. Click "Save" and the window closes. Step p2 above starts the browse for AirPort and Time Capsule configuration services in the list of domains my system is automatically configured to search, which includes my iCloud member domain, but it could include any other domains. The browse operation queries for PTR records containing names of SRV records, and it results in the list presented in the pop-up menu. Step p3 above starts the locate for the chosen Time Capsule service instance. The locate operation queries for SRV records, as well as the A and/or AAAA records corresponding to the hostname part of the service resources. Step p4 above starts parallel TCP connections to one or more of the destination addresses returned by the locate operation, in a sensible order and possibly in parallel, until one of them connects or they all fail. -- james woodyatt <[email protected]> member of technical staff, core os networking _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
