Connect to Server
I actually used AppleCare today, so I feel like less of a sap for buying it.

Upon trying to use the "Connect to Server" feature of Mac OS X, I found that I could not type in the "Server Address" box. Pretty weird. I did the usual diagnosticky stuff, scoured the internet for docs or forum discussions and even resorted to the Microsoft Tuneup (restarting the computer). No luck.

So I called AppleCare and after about ten minutes the helpful tech had me move a configuration file out of its expected spot and restart the computer. It worked like a charm. SO just to save you a call should it ever happen to you, here is what fixed the probem.

1. Find this file: "com.apple.finder.plist" in /[Your Home Directory]/Library/Preferences/
2. Trash the file (or to be extra safe, just move it to your desktop).
3. Restart the computer. If all is good, and if you have not done so already, delete the file you moved.
