Jaguar “Connect to” Dialog in Panther
The new Finder’s in Panther is a great improvement over Jaguar’s - but occasionally the “Network” item in the sidebar seems to have trouble discovering local servers.
When this happens using Command-K (Connect to Server) doesn’t help - -because the new “Connect To” dialog only contains favourite servers and a text-field for entering a specific address - the discovery part has been removed.

You can get round this by invoking the old Panther “Connect To” dialog via AppleScript.
open location (choose URL showing File servers with editable URL)
