Automatically reconnecting to shared disks

Your PowerBook disconnects from any shared disks it’s connected to when
you turn it off or restart it, or when it is in sleep. With AutoRemounter turned
on, your PowerBook reconnects to shared disks automatically 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 in sleep, the hard disk appears on the desktop when
you wake the computer.

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 After Sleep.

If you want to reconnect when you restart the computer as well as after sleep,
click Always.

3

If you want the computer to ask for your password before it reconnects to shared disks,

click Always Entering Passwords. Otherwise click Automatically Remounting.

For better privacy and security, have your computer ask for your password
before it reconnects to shared disks.

4

Close the AutoRemounter control panel.
