Symptom
The name of a computer in sleep mode no longer appears in the Connect to Server dialog, Chooser, or Network Browser.
Products Affected
- Mac OS X 10.0 or later
- Mac OS X Server 10.0.3 or later
- Mac OS 9.x
Solution
A computer's name does not appear on the network after it has been in sleep for three hours. To connect to a computer in sleep mode, type its IP address or DNS name (when applicable). The Chooser, Connect to Server dialog, and Network Browser each provide a field for this purpose.
Note: AppleTalk must be active for a computer to appear in the Chooser.
