| "The Alias could not be opened..." CMB/CIFS problem connecting to Win 2000 server
I'm attempting to connect to our Windows 2000 Server machine. Up until a few days ago I my MBP would mount network drives no problem, but now it doesn't happen automatically anymore, and when I try to connect to the server (I can still see the machine) it asks for authentication, and after entering this displays the following error message:
"The Alias could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found."
Options are Delete Alias, Fix Alias and OK. If I click on fix alias it asks me where the path is to that item. When I go select the path to the network connection again, it does the same thing.
I am new to Mac and have been searching forums for days, and although I have seen similiar posts in the past (since 2004), very few have solutions and the ones that do don't work in my case. My specs:
- MacBook Pro 15"
- OS X 10.4.10
- Connecting to Win Server 2000
If anyone can help... thanks in advance.
