By Request . . . Can't connect to PC, get Broken Alias

Question

Those of you that have been following this, I just found something very easy that I thought just might work and that was to delete any retained passwords in the Keychain for the machine I'm trying to connect to. Well all it got me was the login window for that PC, but every time I log in I get the Alias error.

Nope, no networked drives. The file that was in the trash was created on that partition in the previous install and I just didn't empty the trash prior to the installs.
I have a whole collection of older Macs and I tell ya as long as they work, they WORK! I have to run a $25K scanner off a Beige G3 running OS9 because the manufacturer refused to do an OSX version of their software. No big deal because I have yet to see software that can do what this does, so it's worth it. My ad agency is still running OS9 because most all of the designers have OSX at home and collectively agreed that if they had to run OSX, they'd be spending most of their time fixing or dealing with problems than getting work done. I love my employees. And I have NO Networking problems. Remote access is great, we move files all over and don't even blink. I'm still trying to figure out a safe way to let a vendor access my OSX machine with a PC to drop files without having access to my whole machine. Why can't PC's get the Public folders like Mac guests do and as easily?!
Since the delays of Leopard and the media blitz of Vista I got embarrassingly interested. Until I started to read the fine print and got a test copy. Interest over.
I was one of the first and most used people at a temp agency in the lated 80's, early 90's that when I had the choice at a clients of a Mac or PC, I would always choose the Mac because I could get the work done quicker and easier. A large aerospace firm that I eventually worked for full time publication department was all Mac and now it's PC. It's starting to become a toss up. I spend as much time dinking and repairing with this, as proclaimed by an Apple Rep outside my Apple Store the night OSX was first released "maintenance free OS", more that I ever have OS9. Even when it was really broken.
But as with 10.3.9, I swear that 10.4.9 was fouled with to get us to flee to 10.5. But the timing of 10.4.9 and the initial release of 10.5 would have worked. But since 10.4.9 was release and 10.5 delayed, we have to suffer through until 10.5 is released and if it works. I have played with the latest releases of 10.5 and it's not pretty. Makes perfect sense why it was delayed and I have been saying that since last Fall.
But I do have to make my living from a Mac and since 10.4.5 things have been slowly going wonky. I have strange and stupid things happening in every application, especially Adobe products. And this having to reset prefs and the lot after each restart and all the kernel panics since 10.4.9 is getting old quick. Screens, I have 3 main and one 35" TV as monitors that I can no longer color calibrate. Two of them have the blue tint that I read a lot about a while ago. I am now doing a lot of testing for the developers of many of the apps and widgets that I use, since I was the first to discover maladies and need these. There is a lot failing out there, and it's only really started to be a problem since about 10.4.5 and getting worse with each release. And of course there will be few if no updates for these apps, since I pray that they are gearing up for 10.5. Look at Adobe, they openly admitted that they were waiting on 10.5. So we had to wait and suffer. But until a couple of months of CS3 on the street will have to pass before I even think of it. After the problems with CS2.
I am totally disgusted with my current cell company and am no longer bound to a contract. I was chomping at the thought of the iPhone last Fall, now if I do it'll be Gen 2 at Christmas, if not a Gen 3 later on after all this garp I'm going through now and hearing about the over advertised iPhone and it's surfacing shortcomings. Apple is rushing way too much to the market way too quick and I will not be a bigger "unpaid" Beta Tester for Apple than we all already are.
