Vista - Cant backup to apple time machine

Does anyone know how to backup to an Apple Time Machine? I clicked backup files, then selected "on a network." I typed in \\192.168.1.xx\Time Capsule and tryed to connect. It said I needed a username and password, but I have never needed a username for it... Anyway, I used "admin"(i also tryed using another possible username but got the same error) for username and my password, and i got an error that says

The network share could not be accessed for the following reason:
The RPC server is unavailable. (0x800706BA)
Please ensure the network location is valid.

I know that it is valid because I can connect to it from "Computer" but still i cant get it working. If i try using a completely wrong password then it says that the password is bad. Can anyone help or suggest any workarounds? Is there a way to make an iso of my windows partition and copy that to the time drive?

Do you have Time Capsule or just an external hard drive connected to a Mac
that is used for Time Machine? If the latter, unless you created a separate
partition for storage (not used for Time Machine), you can't back up a
Windows machine there. Time Machine doesn't work with Windows.

Sharing files between a Mac and Vista is also possible but that's another
issue separate from Time Machine.

So please clarify what you are really doing and trying to do and I'll
attempt to help you further.

I have the Time Capsule, and yes you can just drop files into the time capsule. i can go to it from "computer" and have put files there, and then got them off of another computer, it acts as a network hard drive, i can even see my mac's backup.
