[QUOTE="hank1, post: 123344"] It's that simple? Of course my connections were gone again this morning and this time I used my understanding of your metaphor. Typing in smb://Sweetbud/desktop I was there in an instant. Took about two minutes to get to smb://Chuck/desktop but I think that's because I have two folders in my main drive (C) under Documents and Settings; one for "All Users", one for "Robert". And shouldn't the latter be "Chuck". On the Mac under SMB Mount>Select a share I've got Desktop, MSHOME, My Documents, and SharedDocs. I do suspect the problem lies with my PC, but I'm beginning to see light at the end here, thank you. Now I don't mind re-connecting every morning to Chuck and Sweetbud, but I still wonder if there's a way to make these connections permanent. On the Mac under Accounts>Startup Items I have Network Folder and MSHOME Folder checked. I suppose I must go deeper and get Sweetbud and Chuck in there. No, I moved these items up in the hierarchy (thinking that might matter) and tested both a restart and a Sleep, and Sweetbud and Chuck do stay. On my PC I disabled sharing on Shared Documents, keeping it on Chuck's Documents. Computers are, to me, almost mystical entities. [/QUOTE]
