Avoid or recover from hang when server no longer available

Hi All,

Often I'll have a server (i.e. my desktop mac) mounted with filesharing on my powerbook (or vice versa.)

If I go and do something boneheaded like put the powerbook to sleep, turn off airport etc. the powerbook will hang when I wake it up because it suddenly can't find the server.

My question is: is there a way to avoid this, or at least recover somewhat gracefully. Force-quitting the finder doesn't work, and I'm usually left with the only option: power button.

Any suggestions or thoughts on this?
