Automount a WIN shared volume

Running 10.2.6, G4 quicksilver on a Win NT network, fixed IP on the G4. No problem connecting to shared WIN volumes, but how do I get them to re-mount automatically at startup?

Open System Preferences and select Login Items.
Then, drag the volume you want to automount into the Login Items list.
It will connect at login.
You can save the windows password on your keychain if you don't want to be prompted every time you log on.

NEAT TIP: You can also drag Windows volumes into your Favorites, or onto the toolbar of Finder windows.

Are you sure on that symphonix? I have tried following those steps before and my windows drive does not mount on login.
I have had to create a apple script to mount it and place that script in the login items.

I had this same question. I tried the above suggestions, dragging the Win Mount into the Login Items, which appeard fine but when I restarted it didn't mount and in the Login Items it listed the mount as "unknown" type.
