Auto mount UPNP enabled NAS drive

Friends,
I have a UPNP enabled NAS hard drive and my mac detected it automatically once it was powered on. I was using it till last week and due to issues with windows XP on boot camp and reduced battery life, I re-imaged the computer completely and re-installed OSX. After the installation, the apple update has update my comp to 10.5.7.

However now I see that my NAS hard drive is not auto mounting. I have to manually go to finder->go->connect to server and need to give smb://xxxxx/ to connect it.

Any idea what could be wrong and how to make my mac auto detect the drive?

Thanks

macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.7), New Aluminium Macbook

Hi kiranj,

may I'm wrong but I understood that you "loose" your auto-mount settings???
But it is ease to re-set them again (if that is the problem)!

Just mount your external resource manually (finder->go->con....etc), after that go in the Setting menu', chose the Account and in the login tab put your "just mounted" external disk.

That's all! Next time you will log in your Mac you'll get your external disk will be auto-mounted.

Bye
