How do I tell my Macbook to not look for Shared drives?
Our internet connection has been slow at best and drops altogether frequently. I wondered if our old Base Station was to blame, so bought a $39 Belkin router yesterday. The speed improvement was instant and striking!
But now in Finder I see a list of Shared devices in the pane on the left that I have no idea where they are coming from, other than perhaps they are other customers of the isp we use.
I don't want my MacBook wasting time and energy looking for other people's computers over the internet connection, if that is what is happening. How can I tell it to stop that?
