iBook not mounting a networked volume

I have a G4 macMini running 10.5 and an iBook G4 running 10.4, both are connected through the same router. I'm trying to use the mini as a file server so I'd like to mount the mini and USB external drive attached to the mini when the iBook starts up. Using Finder->connect to server I can access and mount both drives without any problems. I've then dragged the drives into the login items for the account on the iBook I want them mounted on. When I load the iBook I get the 'server not responding or is not operational, please check the IP address....'? It will mount then through finder->connect to server straight afterwards though?

Thanks in advance
 
Is the iBook connected wirelessly, or wired?

If wirelessly, and you have the wireless connection set to disconnect upon logout, then perhaps the computer is trying to mount the drives before the wireless connection is connected and available.
