Just makes it easier to know it as that.So I have://server1/test - alias created is called (X: on server1)//server2/folder - alias created is called (W: on server2)//server1/another - alias created is called (Y: on server1)Problem is there are 2 different servers with the same shared folder name and this causes an issue://server1/folder - alias created is called (W: on server1)//server2/folder - alias created is called (Z: on server1)I want these to have 2 separate alias's but if I create the connection to the first one, all is fine. I then create a connection to the second and the other one I have just created now points to the new one and I don't have a connection to the older one. If I create 2 different alias's, both alias's will point to the most recent connection out of the two.This means everytime I need to connect to the 'other' server that isn't currently connected, I will have to manually set up the connection and will loose the other one.Sorry for the long post but it's a weird problem and I want to get it fixed as it isn't helping my case for staying on my Mac and being forced over to Windows.I haven't got much info but one is Windows Server 2003 and other is 2008. I am on 10.6</blockquote>
