My PowerBook G4 is linked to a Windows WiFi network (Belkin Router) using a netweork cable - ok for internet BUT whilst I have set up the Powerbook to access a shsred folder on the network, after I have shut down the PowerBook, upon restart the shared folder has gone- how do I restore the link?

Thanks

Sounds to me like you're saying "I connect to a Windows server, but after a restart, I am no longer connected". That is exactly normal behavior.

It is possible to set network volumes to automount, but if you should ever be away from that network, then it will cause delays on startup as it tries to connect to a server it can't reach.

Instead, be sure that you add the password to the keychain when you log into the Windows server, and if you like, make an alias of the mounted server so that you just have to double-click to mount it.

This is exactly what I've noticed. How do I make an alias so I don't have to search for the folder every time?

Look in the menus? Or the help? It's there!

Sometimes its just nice to learn something the quick and easy way. Don't worry I'll make sure to never ask another question. This brick of a book I bought probably has the answer in it too.

I searched my problem, found the appropriate thread, and now I'll close the screen and go back to the help files.
