Offline Files keep looking for old server path

This is "sorta" about working remotely. It pertains to offline files.

My firm recently changed the server to which we connect. I had designated a
group of files for off-line access under the original server (named
"Filesrv"). When we switched to the new server (Spahq2), and retired the
original one, I deleted all my offline files and repeated the process of
making them available offline, except this time from the new server (Spahq2).
This has worked. All of the files I want are now available offline and they
synch up just fine from the new server. When I log on or off, the computer
synchs up offline content to the new server.

However, the computer continues to also look for the old server. During log
on or log off, the synchronization alerts me that it can't synch to the old
server. In additon, I get regular alerts during normal operation (on the
system tray in the lower right corner of the screen) that the old server
("Filesrv") is no longer available. Indeed, Filesrv is never going to be
available again. How can I get the computer to stop looking for the old
server path and stop giving me the annoying alerts during log on, log off and
normal operation? Perhaps, I need to turn off the old synch path, but I
don't know how. My corporate IT department has no idea.
