    Hello, So this is a really weird one. I've been connecting to my HomeVPN via Tunnelblick without issue for a while now. This morning (whilst using it), pages and servers on my home network stopped responding. No matter how many times I disconnected and reconnected, it still happened...

    AirPort - Ethernet port when connected to network wirelessly

    Hi, Sorry if the title doesn't make much sense, but my question (I hope) is quite simple. I have an AirPort Time Capsule (an older model) - it is currently in a upstairs in a room with a DVR which has no wireless capabilities (it needs to be connected via Ethernet). The modem/router from my...
