Just wondering if anyone can give me some clues on this: since I
upgraded from Tiger to Leopard on my MacPro, it can't seem to make a
LaCie terabyte ethernet drive (through the router) appear on the desktop
windows of the MacPro (presumably in the SHARED area). I also have my
MacMini connected via the router to the network and the MacMini has no
trouble seeing the LaCie under Tiger OS. When the MacPro was running on
Tiger it has no trouble seeing the LaCie on the network.

I can get ftp access to the LaCie from the MacPro using Cyberduck, so it
is actually available to me using this workaround, but as the MacMini
and any other drives appear on the left hand panels of any of the MacPro
desktop file windows, I can't see what's stopping the MacPro seeing the
LaCie directly. I have been through as many seettings as I can think of
but have drawn a blank.

Any clues?

Rifty,

This is a bit late but nobody else has responded so I will give it a go.

I am still on Tiger (my new iMac arrives next week) but I did read that
the preferences for displaying hard drives changed in Leopard.

I don't think you will find what you are looking for under System
Preference panes but you have to go to Finder preferences and set it to
display hard drives (settings for icons and sidebar).

I hope that is right and not just my aging memory playing tricks.

Your aging memory is definitely not playing tricks with you! That is
exactly what I was looking for. I didn't think of the Finder prefs.
