I would like to make a direct SB3 Mac connection on my computer at
work. However, it is at a university, and I can't change my IP address.
There may be Firewall issues.
Is it likely to be a lost cause?

Recent macs don't require that a crossover cable be used.

My SB is now directly connected to my MacBook via ethernet cable.
Here's the process
Mac
System Preferences Network Show Built-in Ethernet
Configure IPv4: Manually
Enter IP Address and then assign IP address to SB at the set-up prompt
for a static IP.
Hope this helps.
Thank you to all
I want to connect my SB directly to my MacBook as I've been having
troubles with my home wireless connection and current can't play my
music through the 'standard' wireless configuration.
In FAQs, I found some instructions on connecting SB to Windows PC
without a router or access point, but
I assume you're connecting ethernet between the Book and SB3 with the
Book being the server? If you DON'T use a hub/switch then you need a
crossover cable for the ethernet connection to work. You could always
have the Book create a wireless network and try having the SB3 look to
it...
can you

Yes - this is exactly what I was thinking.
Is a crossover cable the same as a 'standard' ethernet cable, like the
cable I would use to connect my router to my computer? I had not heard
the term

Mac set-up advice?
I'm sure you'll get some.
I can answer about Windoze and

Almost. A crossover cable looks externally exactly like a standard
ethernet cable, but
Thanks again, Pat. Not sure on how to assign the fixed IP address to my
Mac ethernet jack though.
Advice for a neophyte...anyone?

Drive around in whatever control panel you use to setup networking.
