| I am very comforatable saying that the update, as coincidental as it seems, didn't break the PB. I have both a G4 tower and a PB as well, and they both connect to my PC server where I located our backup directories. Both Macs are running .6 update.
BUT saying that and having it work are two different things. Have you tried to assign a static IP address to the PB including the correct router and DNS servers? Is the PB connected via wireless or ethernet?
try the smb trick: in Finder - Click on GO - Connect to Server then SMB://ipaddress/share. I hate to sound like a simpleton, but is the share available on the PC ?
The warming is a puzzler - I would download menumeters and see what is taking cycles. Being idle won't do it - something must be running to generate heat. Also, check your power settings.
