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.

Looking for a way to add windowshade capability to Mac OS X Finder windows? Or perhaps you need to run your Mac using just the top one-third of your monitor? The software for these and 80 other hacks are now available on the MacHack 2001 CD. The disc is a compilation of this year's entries in the MacHax Best Hack Contest (see our coverage in TidBITS 585), in addition to papers and presentations given at the annual developer gathering. The CD costs $20, plus $5 for domestic shipping or $15 to mail it internationally; all of the proceeds go toward funding MacHack 2002. Also available for $20 is the MacHack Historical CD, which collects software and papers from the 14 years of MacHack events; for details of previous contest winners, see our coverage of recent MacHack conferences.
