I have a machine running 10.7 as a simple file/iTunes server. I occasionally connect to it via screen sharing for maintenance. Recently The hard drive showed signs of giving up so I went ahead and swapped out the drive for a new one and then migrated everything over migration tool. It worked like a charm, everything works as should except the Screen Sharing.

This is what happens, I can screen share with no problem, but if i give it sometime / few hours, i can not connect. Then I restart the remote machine, screen sharing works flawlessly until another few hours and i can no longer work it.

This is driving me crazy!!!

so far:
- firewall is completely off!
- the machine never sleeps

please help!
