Thanks for the info. I entered static IP into the SB3, similar to the
IP address of my Mac (e.g. if my Mac self-assigned a 169.254.90.114, I
entered 169.254.90.115 as the SB3's IP address, and 169.254.90.114 as
the gateway and DNS. Usually it didn't work (can't connect to
server), but somehow
Unless you've comfig'd it yourself, DNS is probably not running on the
Mac.
NetBios name resolution should be working tho.
Just 'cause it's easier and works - why not use a router?

You'll find a lot more with ad hoc network (i.e., without the

On my macs (10.6.8) I can create a network on one machine and it gets
a funny auto-ip address in the 169.254.0.0 range (mask 255.255.0.0). I
can then go to advanced settings and set a manual address in the
network of my choice, like a more conventional 192.168.1.0 (mask
255.255.255.0)

Great! It works now! What I did was activating the internet sharing on
my Mac (thanks a lot, epoch1970), sharing my Mac from my iPhone
(although I didn't actually turn on the internet access on the iPhone)
to computers using AirPort. That created a network (I had to give it a
different name
The current version of Airport on Mac allows me to create a wireless
network, so I am wondering wether there is a way to connect my SB3
wirelessly to my Mac without a router. I know this can be done with an
ethernet cable, but wireless would be a lot more convenient.
I tried but couldn't make
Do a search on Ad-hoc network, it's do-able, but will require a Static
IP on the SB3, unless you can get DHCP running on the Mac.
The Mac's IP will be the gateway for the SB3. Not familar with Airport
wireless, but shouldn't be too much.
Is that enough info to get you started?
Cheers!
