Not a lot you can do with this one, although I don't understand quite what
you  mean. If the 2300 is docked in the dock, the internal HD in the dock is
mounted on the desktop like any other device. 10Base-T ethernet isn't too
horribly slow, unless you'll be transferring gigs of files at a time it
shouldn't be too bad.

Just hit the eject button, once. It will shut it down and pop out. Only push
it once or you'll get a "This command could not be completed because your
computer is shutting down" or something to that effect, and be stuck waiting
for an okay.
