According to my Preferences, my IP address is 10.0.1.13, which obviously is not my real IP address, since this is the address given by the router. Before I had my router I used to…

Your router is doing its job by hiding your computer from the Internet. If you want to expose it so that others can browse through it, you'll need to set up a "DMZ." Depending on…

Well, you wouldn't necessarily have to put the computer in a DMZ. He could specify a particular port for people to access the Public share, then set the router to forward such por…

You have to go into your router settings and forward TCP Port 548 to the local IP address of your computer, in your case 10.0.1.13. People on the internet would then access your co…

I'm guessing that when I close up my PowerBook with my iPod Shuffle plugged in and charging, that it will cease charging. At least the yellow light goes out when I close it. I had…

the dock may work. it's a theory. test it out.

According what I have just read on the subject, some Macs continue to power USB while asleep while others do not. Perhaps the OP's USB light is getting a tiny amount of power from …

Make sure you leave the PowerBook plugged into AC when you close the lid. If I sleep my PB and remove AC power, the USB and FW bus won't have power.

my shuffle does not charge when the powerbook is asleep and it is attached to a dock and a powered usb2 hub.

My shuffle's light turns out when I close my iBook. However, it also does not turn on while plugged in. It just remains inactive. So I guess it's not charging but also knows it's …

i have a pb 12" when my is shuffle is charging, the orange light is on. this is when it is plugged right in. I tested w/ an usb extension cable i just got and didn't have any lu…

That's why I purchased a USB adaptor for my iPod shuffle. Apple does something to fix it.

I don't have a shuffle, just a regular iPod, so this may not work with the shuffle, but with the iPod, you have to first eject the iPod (in iTunes or clicking on the eject icon in …

That sounds like a logical solution to me. I'll try that in just a little bit. I can imagine how that would make a difference. Thanks for the consideraton. Well, I've tried both …

The shuffle plugs into the USB port not the Firewire. It's paying a little more but Apple offers the shuffle dock as well as a portable charger. Might be worth the hassle (I'm cons…

First of all, why buy your girlfriend a dock when your buddies on the message board need one So we've ruled out using a hub to charge the Shuffle w/ your PowerBook off. Now let'…

Hey I save money by just pluging it into my Airport express.
