I can connect, but how do I undo this...

I have a multiple Mac environment using OS X and airport. All works well, I activate airport, join my network, use finder to find the server I want, I press connect and login with user + password. From then I can exchange data, etc.. Smooth and easy. :D

However, When I wish to disconnect I have always use the "turn airport off" option. This seems a little brutal and tipically leaves the other Mac in a sort of limbo state which eventually times out and removes the logged-in (but now dead) connection.

I was wondering, is there a log-out function somewhere in OS X that I should be using?
 
You cannot unmount the network drive when you used the finder browsing. I wonder why you want to disconnect. Why don't you use Apple+K and mount the desired disk/volume instead of network browsing? In that case you can simply do what arkayn told you to disconnect/unmount to drive.
 
There's an eject icon next to the Network symbol in the Finder's sidebar. I've always thought it was a bug. Maybe it's a feature and does exactly that?
 
Actually I tried that, but the little eject icon seems to be a "reserved" feature". ;)
It is still possible to browse the volume that I previously had to log in..
 
arkayn, I tried your proposal. If I drag the server into the trash (which by the way converts to a eject button) I do disconnect. So this seems to resolve my problem. :o I agree it does seem to need some tweeking.

As per the mount-unmount, I an honestly a little confused. I suppose those that know follow the discussion.

I do have a corollary question. How can I disconnect an airport network without using the "turn airport off" option?
