Hi again Peter, I probably should explain more re my last reply. In the Finder sidebar under shared is your ‘Pete’s Time Capsule’ (whatever you named it). When you click it, then click ‘Connect As’ you are attempting to connect to the server ‘Pete’s Time Capsule’ click connect put the password for the Time Capsule and then you see the ‘Data’ folder and on the far right side of screen under ‘Kind’ is ‘Sharepoint’
