[QUOTE="mr dobalino, post: 1242410, member: 115795"] I go to the 'shared' section in finder, click on the server, click on the folder within that so shared -> server1 -> websites This then connects and creates a 'volume' (sorry if that's the wrong term) on my desktop. I then right click this and create an alias. Doing this process for each share: shared -> server1 -> websites shared -> server2 -> websites creates 2 different icons on my desktop. Double click on each one gets me to the correct area on the their respective servers. Creating 2 alias's from each one, gives me 2 different alias icons, but they both go to the same server folder. The reason I want the alias's is that it is easier to place them in a folder, for example, that I can easily access from finder and name them what I want, whereas the volumes that are placed on the desktop don't seem to be accessible via finder. If it isn't obvious, this is the first time I have tried to connect a mac to a windows network (any network really) so if there is a better way to achieve what I am trying to do any suggestions would be great. Thanks [/QUOTE]
