Automatically remounting to shared volumes

Your PowerBook disconnects from any shared disks it’s connected to when
you either turn it off or restart it. With the Assistant Toolbox, your
PowerBook can reconnect to those shared disks when you turn it back on (or
wake it from sleep). In addition, if you connect a hard disk to your
PowerBook while it’s asleep, the hard disk appears on the desktop when you
wake it up.

1

Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu and open the AutoRemounter control
panel.

2

If you want to reconnect to shared disks only when you wake the computer from sleep,
click the After Sleep button.

If you always want to reconnect (that is, when you restart the computer as
well as after sleep), click the Always button.

3

If you want to enter your password when you reconnect to shared disks, click Always
Entering Passwords. Otherwise click Automatically Remounting.

IMPORTANT

Having your computer ask for your password better protects your

privacy and the security of shared disks. Automatically remounting remounts
your volumes without requiring the passwords.

4

Close the AutoRemounter control panel.
