In Mac OS X, you can see Remote Disks in the Finder. This setting is enabled by default in the MacBook Air and on the MacMini Server, but not on most other models. To enable it add the EnableODiskBrowsing key in the com.apple.NetworkBrowser.plist with a value of YES: defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool YES To set it back to default: defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool NO
