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. By using the
AutoRemounter, your PowerBook can reconnect 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 it up.
1Choose Control Panels from the Apple (
K
) menu and open the AutoRemounter control
panel.
2If 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.
3If you want the computer to ask for your password when you reconnect to shared disks,
click Always Entering Passwords. Otherwise click Automatically Remounting.
For better privacy and security, have your computer ask for your password
before reconnecting to shared disks.
4Close the AutoRemounter control panel.
