So after 2 - 3 painful years of using a windows pc, I finally have a mac again (black c2d macbook). What a joy!... BUT! I am having trouble with something that was *SO* simple on windows that I must be overlooking something now that I'm back on the mac platform.
I have a buffalo tech NAS which my partner and I regularly use to share files, most often by making changes to existing excel and word files. We use the NAS as the home for these files, not just as a backup location (as we both make regular changes). I have no problems finding or connecting to the NAS server at all, it works perfectly.
As I have a macbook, if I am not using it I do close the lid and put it to sleep, which also disconects it from the NAS. When I open it and it wakes up, the server is no longer mounted on my system? On windows, there was an option to reconnect at log on, and the drive would just be there, regardless of the network connectivity. How can I make it so that when my macbook wakes up, it reconnects to my NAS?
Thanks for your help, I did try several searches on the forums and could not locate this information.
