John and all,
This is absolutely an interesting situation. Last night, I played with
my app, sent off my email to this list, and put it away to write a
paper. This morning, I bring my laptop to work, get home, and --
without modification -- everything works. I also tried adding a / at
the end of the URL, but PB takes it out! Very strange indeed.
I'll be doing some more research, see if there's something I did to the
PowerBook at work to make this work, but I doubt it. All I do there is
plug it in to the Ethernet network.
Thanks for your advice!

I've had a lot of problems using remote AE in X. It doesn't seem very
reliable to me. Of course, that caused me to find another way of
doing what I was doing, so I'm no longer using remote Apple Events.
Go figure.
However, there are two things I recall. One, you need a trailing
slash.
tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://192.168.2.233/"
Second, try using Rendezvous for this.
tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://MachineName.local/"
I reported a bug with Apple regarding saved scripts using Rendezvous
names crashing AppleScript when used or opened. I haven't looked
lately to see if it got out of the "being ignored" er, "investigation"
phase. ;)
