Long pause if I click a network resource that is not in service?

I have a home network with three computers and I frequently share resources
among the computers. Whenever I click anything that happens to be on a
computer that is (temporarily) turned off, I have to wait about 45 seconds
for a message that I don't have permission to access that resource before I
can proceed. Can I reconfigure anything to eliminate this annoyance?

By the way your post is worded and your mention of "Whenever I click anything that
happens to be on a computer that is (temporarily) turned off", the answer is no
unless you have any "Wake on LAN" settings enabled on the machine that is
"(temporarily) turned off". You can not connect to a machine that isn't connected to
the network or hasn't the ability to do so.
