I have a MacBook Pro upstairs and an iMac downstairs (both running Leopard), and I use screen sharing to connect between the two systems. Lately screen sharing has been taking about 30 seconds to connect to the iMac downstairs from my MacBook Pro; and I have no idea why it's taking so long to connect. When I try to connect to the MacBook Pro from the iMac it connects instantly.

Has anyone heard of this problem before?

P.S. The iMac is connected directly to my 2wire router via an ethernet cable and the MacBook Pro is connected via wireless.

How about other network related activity ? (mounting volumes, copying files etc...)
Does that also take a long time ? Is it slow ?

First step of troubleshooting would be to take the MBP and connect it directly via ethernet to the router, and see if that eliminates the problem. That way, you will know if it's the wireless part of the network or not.

Thanks turtle777 for your input. The problem is now resolved, I updated to 10.5.6 and that didn't fix the problem at first, but a few days latter I tried to screen share again and it connected instantly. I have no clue what the problem was or how it got fixed, but its working now.

Thanks again!
