I don't know how to do it before logging in as a user, but it is really
easy to automatically connect to a network drive _after_ logging in as
a user. Here's how you do it:
a) Mount the network drive on your desktop
b) Go to Accounts (under "System Preferences)
c) Click on the account name, then on the "Startup Items" tab.
d) Drag the icon of the network drive onto the Startup Items.
That's it. Everytime that user logs in, the network drive will mount
automatically. If you login automatically as that user upon startup,
then I guess the network drive mounts automatically upon startup.
There's probably other ways to do this, but this works for me.

Uhm... I looked and dont see a "Startup Items" tab. are you running the
same version of OS that i am? I'm running 10.2.8. Are you running 10.3?
other than that, what you described is EXACTLY what i want to be able to do.

.. . .under 10.2.8 things are slightly different, bu still do-able
1) Login to whichever network drive(s) you want.
2) Launch System Preferences on your machine.
3) Click on the syspref, Login items.
4) Drag the desktop icon(s) of your network drive(s) to the Login Items
window.
5) Check all boxes of those drives you want to load at startup.
6) Go celebrate with a donut, 'cos you're done :)

I am using 10.3.1, but it is just as easy in 10.2.x. Here's how you
would do it.
a) Mount the network drive on your desktop
b) Go to Login Items (under "System Preferences")
c) Drag the icon of the network drive onto the Startup Items.

"login items" .. "startup items" ... means the same thing.

.. . . read the whole thread. What I'm pointing out here is how to
achieve the desired results under Jaguar, the OP's system, instead of
Panther, which is what was assumed in the original reply. In Jaguar the
settings are in a completely different place to Panther. This is not
about semantics . . .

Um, you're criticizing him for providing specific instructions for OS X
10.2.x instead of the 10.3.x instructions? The previous poster could
not locate a Startup Items tab in Accounts, for good reason, since it
doesn't exist in 10.2.x. I think YOUR reading skills are the ones that
need honing.
