Fishpatrol, so you made sure the "Built-In Ethernet" [green] was turned on in your Network Preference pane? How did you connect the firewire drive between the two computers? Regular ethernet[blue] cable or a crossover[gray] cable?
Regarding Air Ports. I've never used them, but when I was a serious Quake 3 Arena player online, a guy I knew in Ohio was playing through an Air Port on his Powerbook and was getting excellent frame rates. He said just about the same as running direct into his hub. Video speed for online gaming is always a critical element, and if he found an Air Port sufficent, my guess is that it could work in some applications for audio. Blue Tooth may be better though.
