Hi y'all I finally had to take off the alias that worked, but caused my computer to go into fits. I think the problem was that the Windows computer is not always awake when I want to access the network and I have to go and wake it up. That would be ok except that even when I didn't want it apparently my computer was trying to access the thing. I didn't think it would do that with an alias, but I guess it did access or attempt to. I got Finder busy all the time until I finally took off both the alias and earlier, the Public volume on my desktop. Then I had to restart my computer without the network. Once I did that, my computer is behaving fine now. It doesn't like my husband's network. I thought I had messed up my computer for sure, but it has recovered now.
