After going to Go -> Connect to Server...
Enter the name into the 'Server Address:' box then
press the + sign. It should be added to your
'Favorite Servers' box. If you want to get rid of
any of your 'Favorite Servers' just highlight the
server and then click the remove button.
Yep - I've saved a bunch of servers in there. My problem is that they're entered by IP address (to make the right connection), but I'd like to have them labeled with words so that I know which one is which. For example, my favorite servers list has the entry "smb://172.16.0.8" and I'd like it to say something like "Our PC server" so that I know which one I want to connect to when looking at the list. Is it possible to alter or customize the way servers appear in this list?
Or better yet, is there a way to make an alias that automatically mounts (using keychain to log in) network volumes? I'd rather just make a pointer to a server and rename the alias, but it never works for me for SMB targets that have multiple mount points that have to be chosen; once I drag the server to the trash, clicking the alias doesn't cause it to re-login and put the server back on the desktop (it says "original could not be found").
If you get a chance, fill in the information about
your computer under your profile. The reason being
that it will help us help you out. For example, the
above instructions will work if you are running 10.3,
but not if you are running another OS. HTH.
that's weird - I went to my profile settings and it says "10.3.9" and "G5". Is there other details I should have there?
Thanks,
Mike
