I am not saying that with a windows box you can start transferring a file over wireless, plug in a network cable and it speeds up. I am saying that I can log into a windows domain…

Ahh, okay. That's a clearer explanation. In this case, you're correct. Finder's handling of lost connections is very poor. Most of the time, Explorer isn't all that much better, b…

Seeing as how Apple's marketing speak implies OSX should do this, does anyone have any experience of this ever working?

What kind of machine are you using?

Finder is still a POS when it comes to lost network connections. It completely freezes for about a minute until it pops up the "OMG THIS DRIVE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE!1!!!1" dialog.

If it was the Finder relaunching the Finder should cure it. It doesn't. Something that's communicating with the Finder is allowing it to happen while the Finder doesn't allow any s…
