The same thing happens to me. Clicking again on the server only gets me another  
prompt for authentication.

By the way, most of the macs broadcasting on our network are not AppleShare  
servers but System 7 Macs "publishing" their disks. Does the NeXT AppleShare  
client properly allow login to these? I don't know anything about the  
difference between AppleShare and System 7 Publish & Subscribe. Certainly from  
another Mac these behave identically.
