Right SnowLeapard newbie Q.

I mounted some remote drives in Finder but have since removed one of them.

However, Finder permanently displays a 'Connection Failed' popup which I can't get rid of and I can't find anywhere to delete the mount.

Any idea how I get rid of the remote drive?

NB In a shell I get:

Ben-Freemans-iMac:~ Ben$ mount
/dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
Ben-Freemans-iMac:~ Ben$

No mention of the remote drive 172.16.0.18

Have a look in your login items (System Prefs) to see if there is a connect to drive as part of your startup. That's how you make disk mounts permanent for each time you log in.

ok, will do. Seems this is a common problem as I find loads of people with the same issue, but no single fix...
