Nick, I think file sharing startup time is directly related to how many files and/or drives are being shared. I have a similar network to yours with a G4, 7500, 7600, and a PB540C. The G4 is the fastest, but has a 30GB disk and a 10GB disk. It also takes many minutes to start sharing files. The other three computers are fairly slow, but they start sharing much sooner because their drives are 500MB to 4.3 GB in size. The G4 takes forever to show up in the chooser, but the others show up in a minute or less. That just seems to be the way that they work from my experience. One thing to check though, go into your System Folder>Servers and delete any old aliases that might be in there. That helps me sometimes. I don't know what to tell you about the corruption stuff. Joe
