I try to connect to my wife's Mac over our LAN.

After connecting I can "see" her public folder.

But when I try to disconnect it always says connecting. So the only way
to disconnect seems to be to turn File Sharing off on her Mac.

Is this "normal?"

When I try to disconnect, Finder window it shows Kind as Sharepoints
with my computer's name.

Any basic ed on this appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if I understand.

When I connect to another mac, the computer shows up in the devices
pane of any finder window under "SHARED."

There are also computers there which I'm not connected to, but which
my computer can see on the network.

The difference between the ones I am connected to and the ones I'm not
connected to is that the ones I am connected to have a triangle next
to them. (I think the triangle is supposed to suggest "eject").

If I click on the triangle, I get disconnected. But the computer name
will remain under the "SHARED" list.
