Hi Ron,

I have tried the command in the format you suggested, which works on the local LAN but fails when used via a modem/PPP connection, even though DNS is working to locate the server. When investigated the command appears to ignore the domain value and uses the servers workgroup.

Cheers,

Brian

If the volume is a Windows volume shared via smb/cifs

Tell application "Finder"
open location "smb:// domain;username:password@server/shared_volume"
end tell

If you're in an NT domain don't forget the domain name then a semi-colon
then username...I couldn't figure it out-then someone named Iwan taught
me
that tidbit on the OS X AppleScript Discussion Area.

Hope that helps,
