Joel thank you!

I cannot believe how difficult it's to explain my problem!

Here's a screencat of what I want to be automated: http://screencast.com/t/RFUmqXbPJ1YB
Do you have a script for that? I failed writing one.

set the user_name to "<your_name>"
set this_password to "<your_password>"
set this_disk to (mount volume ("smb://path/to/your/share/" & user_name & "/") as user name user_name with password this_password as alias
on error error_message
display dialog error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end try
end open


Now all you need to do is fill in the blanks.

what I'm trying to do is connect to my ethernet network with my saved credentials. For some reason this doesn't happen automatically so i have to manually do it myself everytime. An applescript would probably be best, but I don't know how to script it.

K, I’m not sure exactly what you trying to do with Automator, but another alternative to the program is QuicKeys 4.0. You can down a trial version of it. I records mouse clicks much better than Automator. But again, I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to do.
