IP over Firewire
Date: 17/11/2005
Oh this is too cool. My PC has 1 ethernet port and my cable modem is plugged into that. So to network the Mac Mini in is pretty hard. But it turns out that you can network an XP machine to an OS X machine using Firewire. How hella cool is that! It's called IP over Firewire and it rocks.

My PC mother board is old and lame, and I've run out of PCI slots (kinda). Because the slot next to the video card needs to stay free to get enough air flow over the Nvidia 6200 which has no fan (factory heatsink only). No onboard ethernet either, so I have 1 NIC, a sound card, a USB2 card, a Firewire card and the TV tuner card. And 1 free slot next to the AGP card.

Anyway it's all cool... firewire comes to the rescue. I'm posting this from the Mini ;)
