...PLEASE help. I've been fighting my Time capsule off and on for a month or so now. All i'm trying to do is make it a wireless Bridge, but after the initial setup, it restarts, and the Airport utility does not recognize it. I eventually get a timeout error message that says "Airport Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after restarting... The settings have been successfully updated, but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the Apple wireless device. You may need to select your wireless network from the Airport menu and ty again."

My computer i am working on is two feet away from the Time Capsule, and i have tried this at least six times today (both with the automated and manual setups), as well as numerous times this past month.

now, i am not the kind of person to assume i am doing everything correctly, and if there's a problem, it MUST be the hardware, but jeez... i'm calling uncle on this one.

so i guess my questions are these... has anyone heard of an error like this before? Am i doing something obviously wrong? Could this possibly be a faulty Time Capsule? Maybe bad firmware? Is there a way to reload the firmware?

thanks for any help. i'm at my wit's end.
