"Anyone out there using Remote Desktop? I do quite a bit but hadn't since I updated to 10.2.3, until this weekend, tossed it on my Girlfriend's iBook and my Pismo [I normally do it between my G4 and my Pismo and it works very slick, AirPort rocks]. Regardless, it doesn't work now, no Preference Pane in System Prefs any more ... it doesn't see the other Mac that Remote Desktop is on until you login and open ARD on that Mac, and then it will often refuse your user name and password. Ideas? David" I use appleshare on TCP/IP behind my router to connect my 2 G4s (Graphit 400 and 450 Cube) and my connection gets broken alot. OS 9.22 on the server and OS 10.2.3 on client. I don't get it either, it was rock solid before Jaguar. I get the HD s mounted and then when I close a menu or do something with the Sys Prefs window the drives disconnect of thier own volition. I get an error that says disconnected and cannot reconnect but if I use the Go menu it will reconnect without any problems -untill it happens again. It is specifically when working in the OSX systems controls and menus. But it may happen when using programs as well -I have not tested this. Although I find this annoying it has not diconnected when I was copying, only before or after. Maybe there is a bug here. jj
