Apart from the modem port and the Audio In port, usually my PowerBook G4 has all the ports in use.
Ethernet is connected to a 5-port switch which is the core of the wired portion …

I've had all the ports on my MacBook bar the line in use once a few months back:
Power: Duh!

Just another one of those curiosity threads, but who has actually managed to use all the ports on their 'Book? I just managed it a little earlier, and things got a little scrambled…

Nope, its as simple as just going into TCP/IP and giving both machines a unique IP address. You only need a router if you're connecting the machines to the Internet. Its just a mat…
Assigning each a static address makes sense to me. Is that as simple as manually assigning the addresses in TCP/IP or do I need to connect a router in between them and do so throug…
