The alias “x” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found.
Tuesday, September 5th, 2006Out of the blue I have been receiving the error shown below whenever I tried mounting a samba share in finder:
For some reason the finder stopped being able to mount shares on any machine, anywhere…
The solution to this lies in mounting a share manually through the terminal. It seems that after I had connected to the machine using smbclient I was able to mount shares in the finder again.
Michael:~ michaelskelton$ smbclient //192.168.0.3/PUBLIC/ -U MICHAELSKELTON
Other useful commands I used when diagnosing the issue were: smbmount and smbtree .
