My ex's computer shows up occasionally in the shared section of the finder window. I've tried going in to her computer the remove connections but can't seem to make it disappear. It only shows up on my mini and not my macbook. Any ideas on how to make it go away?
Got a tip for us?

Turn off file sharing on your ex's computer in System Preferences. You also have to be on the same network.
We are on different networks 1000 miles away. Things didn't exactly end amicably and was wondering if there was anything else I could do. I believe I turned off file sharing already.
Yes I tried all that and it didn't help. I finally just bit the bullet and contacted her and she did something and its gone now.
Do you have "Back to My Mac" settings turned on, on either computer? This tells the computer "no matter where I am located, make it appear as though I am on the same network as the other computer."
The poster of this problem has very likely solved it by now, 2 years later.
