Hi all.

I was working with my home network, from my ibook, and my windows box went down (surprise surprise). Now, while the share doesn't appear on the desktop, it still appears in Volumes. For example, typing ls -la /Volumes gives:
[code]
drwxrwxrwt 6 root wheel 204 Mar 29 12:22 .
drwxrwxr-t 43 root admin 1462 Mar 29 10:29 ..
drwxr-xr-x 1 matthew wheel 16384 Mar 29 12:17 192.168.1.103
drwxr-xr-x 1 matthew wheel 16384 Mar 29 12:25 192.168.1.150
drwxrwxrwx 10 root staff 340 Mar 28 23:33 Stream
[\code]

Where .103 is one win box which is working fine and .150 is the one which crashed. Given that the .150 directory is still there, I can't remount the computer: I get a -47 error (file busy). And I can't delete the .150 directory either, as it thinks the resource is busy.

My question is how can I forcibly unmount that particular directory so I can re-access the .150 computer? Thanks.

How did you got the Windows box restarted? If you did not do a full boot, you may not have allowed the network card to refresh its address, so it still appears to be in use. To complicate matters, when you try to remount that computer's drive, there's no reply so your Mac thinks the thing is too busy to mount. This last may be fixable by just restarting your Mac; it's worth a try.
