[WelMac] Personal file sharing

[John Crook]

I use personal file sharing regularly on my network to transfer  
information between my Macs.

However, I find that often when I go to connect I cannot "see" the  
machine I want to log on to, even if it is awake and personal file  
sharing is switched on.

The solution is to go to the offending machine, which appears to be  
not advertising its presence on the network and to switch personal  
file sharing off and then on again.  At this point it always appears  
on the network.

It such a nuisance having to do this several times a day.  Does  
anyone have any bright solutions to offer?

(I am using OS 10.4.5)

Thanks

John
