The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “/” can’t be found.

Just updated to Mountain Lion (10.8) but lost ability to connect with a Windows based network shared folder. I've taken off the AFP option which appeared to resolve this issue when 10.5 was introduced but it doesn't work on this upgrade. More than a little frustrating as this is the company's shared data folder...so completely cut off. Am having to use RDC as temporary work around.

How can I connect to a shared folder on a windows based network (domained) permanently?
