Is there a way to correct a similar AFP problem?
Authored by: sigalakos on Nov 26, '07 11:32:54AM

I have a similar problem with a mac not listing the hard drives (internals and externals), through shared sidebar, when connected as an admin. I think the problem started when after a restart, an external drive got renamed from "Seven" to "Seven 1" for no reason and "Seven" was made into a folder in /Volumes. No matter what I do (I deleted the folder, restarted the mac and the disk's name is now Seven), it doesn't work. Not only can I not access the hard disks through the "Shared" Finder's sidebar, but AFP doesn't work either through finder's Connect to Server, feature. Can anyone help? I have this problem for 3 weeks now and 10.5.1 didn't help at all...

Try this? It happened to me, and sounds like what's going on with your computer.

Thanks! I already did that, but still no go. I can't see the disks on other networked computers... Only my home folder. Very frustrating.
