You might try this method. No guarantee it will solve or reduce your
problem tho.

1) mount the remote the usual ways
2) make an alias of the remote volumes (CMD L in Finder or contextual
menus)
3) move the alias to the sidebar in a Finder mounted window. I usually
put it in the FAVORITES folder.

I followed up to this point. I tried to move the alias to the sidebar
without putting it into a folder (I don't have a Favorites folder
there--should I? I might have deleted it long ago?) Anyway, it
wouldn't take it. That's sorta disappointing, because I need to leave
the alias on the desktop (I try to keep desktop clutter down).

Otherwise, I do really like having that alias there. It's made this
much quicker, thank you :)

4) for subsequent use of the remote volume it seems much quicker to just
double click the alias in the FAVORITES folder of the sidebar. The route
of using BONJOUR to search for remote volumes seems to have longer
delays.

I'm not familiar with Bonjour. Is that just the software that does all
this networking muckity-muck? :)



But I also have had my share of perplexing local LAN Mac to Mac little
snafus. Most of mine are when a remote Mac has gone to sleep or both
the local and the remote (remote icons mounted on the local one) have
gone to sleep. I also get long SPBOD (spinning pizza ball of death)
which eventually in my case go away. Often can't SHUT down the local one
when the remote one has gone to sleep. Annoying delays under such
conditions. I eventually get it SHUT DOWN but only after some
frustration and waits.

Yeah, my pizza ball may go away eventually--I just don't have the
patience to watch it spin more than about 10 seconds, after which I
kill it the hard way. I probably owe my system a good permissions
repair after having abused it that way a couple times now ;-)


thanks again for your helpful comments :)
