Network issues

I am working with several iMacs (about 11) on shares delivered by a windows server. Working on these shares, instantly the mappings are showing a red ball and all the rights are gone.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), Network

Haven't seen this problem in awhile, but...


In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)


Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.


Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.


If it does contain data...
