I'm running a mac book pro with 10.4.10 and every time i click go -> Connect to server and type smb:\\servername it pops up a connection box where its attempting to connect to afp:\\smb:\\servername.  My question is why the hell is it adding afp: to the front of the address and how do i turn this special feature off.Start Free Trial
