When I startup my Mac Pro, the finder will either connect to another mac I have in the office or try to connect to it and will give me a prompt that it can't connect (when the other computer is off). Somehow that's a default setting and I'm not sure how this happened.
How do I turn off this automatic mounting of this other computers HD onto my desktop?
I have no automatic Login items in my Sys Prefs under my account. There are no other accounts on this computer, FYI. I have also tried clearing the "recent items" in my Apple icon in the Finder.
I opened the console and notices a kernel that reads "disk6s2: device is not ready" ... I'm guessing that is referring to the computer that this Mac is trying to connect to but that computer is turned off. But, i can't figure out WHAT and WHY it's trying to connect to the computer.
ANY help is appreciated.

Re: Finder mounts a server upon startup...FIXED
FWIW, I fixed my problem ...
I had tried ALL the suggestions posted in all the forums I searched... to no avail.
I finally found that I had installed "Printopia" a long time ago and it was connecting to a printer on another computer I have. I deleted it and voila! Problem fixed.
Maybe this might help someone with the same issue

When I ported to a new drive a couple of months ago, I found a couple of old things like this, rising from the dead as it were, to give me grief.
It took some real searching to figure out what these old things were so I could delete them. Opening Console helped.
I remember Printopia from way back. I just Googled to to find that they now make iOS apps to allow direct printing from iPad and iPhone.
