Finder windows when connecting to network...???

[Diomedes]

Why is it that everytime I connect to a network share, the Finder opens it in a small window, and in icon view? I have the Finder's preferences set to always open in column view, yet everytime - the same share - Finder ignores the setting. Any ideas??

You mean like connecting to a network server? I get this problem at the office. I assume it's because the server is running its own version of OS X, so the window obeys the server's settings. Try setting the server box's preferences.
