I seem to have a constant problem with the networking in Panther which is, as far as I can tell, a software bug. I just wondered if anyone else had had it and/or solved it.

The 'Network' Icon in the finder is supposed to display a list of locally available machines sharing files in the 'Local' section. On my G3/400 and my iMac G4 they keep losing all the server in this list (SMB and AFP) completely and 'Local' is empty. Only a reboot seems to solve it.

I then discovered by accident that these can all be accessed also by using 'Go to Folder' and typing in

/var/automount/Network/Local

And Lo-and-Behold all my servers are there, yet not in the Network thingy in the sidebar.

Odd - No?
