I have two iMacs connected through ethernet, and I use the second one as a second screen for the first one. It's worked fine for a long while, but now it's been consistently dropping off. I open a finder window on the first mac, and the second mac is not available in the list of Shared items on the left of the window. When I restart the first iMac it has reappeared. Restarting the second iMac doesn't seem to fix the problem, however, only restarting the first one.

I looked in Network in Preferences and both macs are on ethernet, and both have screen sharing chosen in Sharing.

Not sure what to do next to keep this from happening?
