OS X (10.11) El Capitan Finder Connection Failure ( please don't suggest AFP )

EX4 doesn’t support NFS

AFP is depreciated; **bleep** even Apple is trying to ditch it…

Rather than maintaining both AFP and SMBX in parallel, Apple is now consolidating its future efforts in its own implementation of Microsoft’s SMB2 protocol. Macs running OS X 10.9 Mavericks and higher will use SMB2 as their default file sharing protocol when connecting to each other or to PCs running [Windows Vista](Portfolio Growth Partner | Investment Advisor 3&k=eadc7342a614740edb710362b6244687&source=feed&url=http%3A%2F%2Fc%2Eaffil%2Ewalmart%2Ecom%2Ft%2Fcsepg01%3Fl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww%2Ewalmart%2Ecom%252Fip%252FTrippLite%2DKeyspan%2DRF%2DRemote%2Dfor%2DWindows%2D7%2Damp%2DVista%252F31157528%253Fwmlspartner%253Dpricegrabber%2Ecom%2526affcmpid%253D1501957153%2526tmode%253D0000%2526bcfg%253D0c2d7f3c7f0a3d610357d9335ca2795f%2526veh%253Dcse&st=feed&mt=~~~~~~ n~~~), 7 or 8.

Yes I have the same problem… oddly I have 2 EX4’s and the problem has manifested on one and not the other after a power cut. Ummmm
