This is how it is I’ve found. I haven’t heard enough complaints, hardly any aside from my own, so I have not looked at submitting this to Apple.<BR>

Since I have a run of calls into Apple, perhaps I’ll rack up another one and see what happens. =)<BR>

When they return to the network and try to connect to their home volume they get a message that states "there was an error connecting to the server." I can't find a way to reconnect without logging out and back in. I'm somewhat certain this is just "how it works" but I'd still like to find a way to fix it.<BR>
