Screen sharing

[Paul X10]

Did you just upgrade the Apple Remote Desktop application to version 3.7?

If so, that is your problem :) When Firewall is turned on, it does not 
properly pick up the ARD requests and therefore ignores them. The 
short-term fix is to turn off Remote Login and Remote Management in the 
Sharing Preference Pane, reboot and then turn them back on. The firewall 
wall will then ask if you want to allow incoming connections to a 
program something like displaydr - I forget the real name. This is only 
a temporary fix and Apple has to do something.
