• Lock the remote server's alias using the Get Info window. This ensures that the connection information is stored correctly for dial-up procedure. If you don't do this, you may lose this information and may not be able to access the remote server properly.
• Make sure that the remote server connection is not timing out before it mounts on the computer desktop. You can change the timeout length by editing the 'DATB' 1410 resource in the AppleShare file located in the Extensions folder. Apple's ping timeout has been set to 20 seconds. The timeout is measured in ticks and currently set to 1200 ticks. 60 ticks = 1 second.
