Thanks Dom, will give all those a go and see what happens. Can't connect to the FTP server from the same network, think it's to do with how I set it up and the port forwarding stuff on the router as well (always says connection refused). | |

Chances are it's an issue with the wireless rather than the PowerMac being an arse and timing out. So i would do a Google around OSX Network Share Timeouts, there's a fair few hits even with recent versions of Lion. Deleting the firewall files and wireless keychain are a few of the solutions. | |

Yep, the PowerMac is used as an FTP server and for network share, and the box is connected to the network via ethernet cable. | |

So you have two MBP's and a PowerMac (used for FTP and network shares)? How is the PowerMac connected to the network, wired or wireless? If it's wireless then do a Google around 10.5 and Airport timeouts; from what i remember there was an issue with the connection timing out when using WPA/2 and you had to revert to WEP or no encryption (would test disabling encryption anyway; i've had issues with WPA on 10.6 in the past). | |

Yeah the PowerMac is used as both an FTP server and a network share. | |

My other half's MBP connects to the network wirelessly, mine is connected with ethernet. |
