The first release was *terrible* but the updates have made things better. We use a shared (PC) server (boooo) at work which was impossible to connect to initially with 10.5. Problem solved by swapping the address from afp// to smb// (which works a treat, and doesn't seem to be as unstable as I had heard). I still get occasional "Server Interrupted" messages followed by short beachballs, and for the last 2 days being unable to connect to anything, but I just found out that running the Disc Utility app clears it all up.

I guess I will wait it out because I have time machine backing up, iWeb uploading and I don't want to interupt those. Oh well. I AM running Leopard. Hum. Oh well (again) I am having the same problem right now. I guess I will wait it out because I have time machine backing up, iWeb uploading and I don’t want to interupt those. Oh well.

Watch this space. :) Thanks for your comments all.

I would make sure your wife's iMac isn't going to sleep whilst you're connected - that would cause all kinds of pain for your connection to that machine. Is Leopard better? Most likely, I haven't experienced any issues in either 10.5 or 10.4 but my general experience with Leopard is that it is improved in many areas stability-wise. Upgrade already!

It still takes a few minutes to tell you that the server's gone, and you still only get the "Disconnect" option, but it doesn't hang the whole machine while it does it!

Sounds just as annoying as when I send something over bluetooth, one picture will slow down the tracking on my wireless mighty mouse for what feels like forever, an hour or so at least!
