automount NAS on bootup?

I have a NAS drive connected to my network and I want to make it so it automounts when I turn on the computer. How do I do that with Windows Vista?

Also, I try to have windows store the username and password, but it never works. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
 
If your NAS unit support iSCSI, install the iSCSI initiator for Windows. I haven't tried it on Vista, but if everything works out right, it should show up as any of your other local hard drives when you log into Windows.

Another, and simpler, solution would be to map a network drive and check "reconnect at logon."

Now when you say "auto mounts when I turn on the computer," and you mention Vista, I'm assuming you mean auto mounts "at logon" not boot up. Correct?

The device is NAS, not a SAN, so iSCSI is not supported. The "reconnect at logon" idea worked fine. Thanks.

???? Ummm, iSCSI can be used with a NAS. Now whether your NAS unit supports iSCSI is a different story.
