AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule gain MobileMe sharing support
Both of Apple's wireless base stations supporting USB shared hard drives, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule, will gain remote file sharing features via MobileMe following a firmware update release.
Back to My AirPort
The firmware update will extend the new feature to existing models as well as the revised versions introduced today. Both units actually shipped with support for Wide Area Bonjour, but Apple didn't explain how to configure the systems, a procedure that requires setting up a public Dynamic DNS account and registering the base station with it.
With Mac OS X Leopard, Apple packaged a series of technologies together under the marketing name "Back to My Mac," including a Dynamic DNS service added to .Mac (now called MobileMe). Access to Dynamic DNS allowed Mac OS X to register its shared services, such as file shares and screen sharing, with MobileMe, making them discoverable, via Wide Area Bonjour, to any other Mac registered with the same MobileMe account.
