For a while now, my Apple Time Capsule has been difficult to access via SMB (the standard Windows File Sharing protocol). I always suspected it was something introduced by Apple, as not only did SMB work with Windows before the previous TC firmware version, but SMB worked with OSX. In fact, it never stopped working on OSX.

Anyhow, I fired up my Mac and it picked up an upgrade for OSX's built in Airport software Downloaded, installed and ran this. It picked up a new firmware version for my TC.

Although the SMB problem wasn't listed as one of the fixes, my PC is currently moving many gigabytes of data to the TC, and has been doing so for 30 minutes without a failure.
