How do I automatically connect to a server?

I have been performing:

Go > Connect to Server > smb://Desktop (the name of the PC I am connecting to)

I get a popup that puts in my entire name (irritating... I know I gave my Home account my full name like a dope... the username on the desktop if just first name) so I remove the last name. The keychain seems to remember my password well but always has the "remember" checkbox UNchecked.

So, I connect and am good.

Problem is that half the time it tries to connect automatically and hangs until I kill it because it is trying to connect with the wrong username (full name, not just first name).

Thanks!

When you are connected to the server, make an alias of the network drive icon. The next time you want to connect, just double click the alias.
