JohnB Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi How do I get Mac OS X (or Finder) to automaticly connect to shares in my network? I have: - a Buffalo TeraStation (NAS) with several shares - 3 Mac's (1 is a hack) running Mac OS X v10.4.10 When I use Finder I can browse my network, find my NAS and mount the shares as drives on my Mac. No problem with that but after a shutdown or restart the shares are no longer mounted. In Windows I belive the function is called "reconnect at login". Does Mac OS X have this function and where do I find it? /John Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73435-auto-connect-to-network-share/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanpatrick Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hi John-- Try this: System Preferences--> Accounts--> Login Items, then add your network share there, usually by dragging from the desktop after you've already connected to it. When I was using Tiger, I found that this worked most, but not all of the time when auto-login was enabled. With manual login it always worked. Unfortunately, now that I'm using Leopard, I cannot see my Terastation NAS at all, unless I connect using Samba.... sigh....

JohnB Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Thanks. It works! Also great to know about the problems in Leopard. An upgrade will have to wait! /John Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73435-auto-connect-to-network-share/#findComment-526935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
