I have recently started having very odd behaviour in the Finder, and was wondering if anyone could help diagnose it:

I have a Server that is at a fixed IP address that I often AFP into. It is on the same LAN as me most of the time.

I also go back to my parents' home often and connect to their macs via AFP.

Recently when I try and connect to my Server I get the following:

1 - A warning that the server does not accept secure connections.
2 - The Keychain details wrongly filled into the AFP connection dialog:

You can see in this screenshot - the server is right - but the credentials are wrong.


Also clicking Aliases that point to the remote volume used to mount it - but now give the "Alias Broken" dialog.

You can see the problem most clearly here:



I verified my Keychain - but apparently all is well with it...

Any Ideas (I don't really want to trash my Keychain - it's got a Lot of data in it.)

[edit] - Arrrggh! I just tried deleting the keychain entry that it was wrongly inserting - now it just used another user/pass for a different Mac! This is very annoying.
