Improve Apple Services with AirPort Base Stations

You can make iChat file transfers, iDisk, and Back to My Mac work better by turning on a setting with Apple AirPort base stations released starting in 2003. Launch AirPort Utility, select your base station, click Manual Setup, choose the Internet view, and click the NAT tab. Check the Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) box, and click Update. NAT-PMP lets your Mac OS X computer give Apple information to connect back into a network that's otherwise unreachable from the rest of the Internet. This speeds updates and makes connections work better for services run by Apple.

A Trio of Articles about iCal Collaboration

Send Article to a Friend

Macworld has just published the third of three articles I wrote having to do with using the Leopard version of iCal for groups:

  • In Corral group calendars, I describe a couple of ways in which multiple people can access and even edit the same calendar using iCal. One way to do this is to connect to a CalDAV server.
  • If you use Leopard Server, it has a great CalDAV server built in. Learn how to set it up in Set up your OS X calendar server.
  • If you don't have Leopard Server, you can use an open-source version of its CalDAV software (Darwin Calendar Server), though you'll have to do without a few high-end features. See Set up a free CalDAV Server.
