I have a network drive (NAS) that I connect to via SMB and have saved the userid/password. To automatically have it connect when I boot up I have dragged the share icon into the 'user startup items' and it works like a charm.

It will work for weeks, days, or months but occasionally it will give me a connection error. I then choose to connect to it (via Finder) and it prompts me for credentials. I supply them, click 'save in keychain (or whatever)' and I'm good. The next day it will prompt me again. My temporary fix is to delete the item from the user startup items and then drag it back in again. It will then work for an undetermined amount of time.

The password never changes on the NAS device. I don't have this problem on my mini or 'hacks', only the pro.

Any Ideas?

Thanks!
