Screen sharing option disappears

I have a powerbook G4 running 10.4 that has a bad screen. I have it connected via ethernet to my new iMac running 10.5.

When I first set up the connection, the share screen option would appear when I selected the powerbook in the finder window sidebar. I was able to successfully use this to access my powerbook.

Then one day the screen share option was not there. I made no changes to the sharing options on the powerbook or the iMac.

This has happened twice - the first iMac I had had to be replaced because of a hardware problem. I was able to use the screen sharing on that iMac until the option just disappeared one day. When I set up the replacement iMac, I was once again given the screen share option, but it is now gone. Restarting the powerbook and the iMac do not restore the option.

Any ideas what is going on?

Intel iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.2)
