I sometimes encounter this problem on every version of 10.11 El Capitan to date.

I can't reproduce this exactly because it seems to happen randomly. It is related to waking computer from sleep or connection/disconnecting from Wi-Fi network.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on Shared computer in Finder -> Sidebar -> Shared

Expected Results:
Finder attempts to connect to shared device.

Actual Results:
Finder presents user with alert: '"<Computer Name>" can't be opened because the original item can't be found.'. (See attached screenshot)

I have to relaunch Finder to get it working again.

Version:
10.11.0
...
10.11.4


Configuration:
MacBook Air 2012
iMac 27 2011
