"Connect" button just doesn't

Hi all.

I upgraded a perfectly fine G5 Panther to Tiger.

After the upgrade, I try to "Connect to server . . .", put in the usual
IP address for my Xserve as I do on a dozen other Macs, but when I click
on the "Connect" button, all I get is a little change in the animation
on the button indicating that it has received my immediate click.
Nothing else. No error message, no "failed to connect".

Have you heard of this? I did a fair amount of googling but could not
find a solution.

Alternatively, can I use UNIX to create a desktop alias that will serve
as a connection link - that is, the user clicks on it to connect to the
IP address? If so, how would I do that?

Thanks!
Rob
