Apple removed SAMBA (SMB) and AFP support for Lion [http://forums.macresource.com/read.php?1,1186081,1191038].


After upgrading to Lion, I encountered the same issue. In Finder, hit CMD+K to bring up the Connect to Server options. Your computer is likely trying to establish connections with SMB or AFP servers in the history list.


I no longer need to connect to the servers that I had in my history, so I removed them, and the pop-up errors have stopped. If that doesnt work for you, or if you need to connect to the servers, here is a workaround that I found on the issue: http://frankleng.me/2011/07/21/connect-to-a-freenas-samba-or-afp-share-on-lion-w orkaround/
