Network

[supanatral]

I have a couple quesions about the network.

1. I use wireless unless I need to transfer a lot of files to my fileserver at once, which is when I connect an ethernet wire. Do I need to disable my wireless in order it to use ethernet for file tranfer?

2. Also, as stated in my last question, I have a fileserver that I want to be connected to at all times, but the problem is when I restart or loose network, it disconnects. Is there a way to tell it to connect to my linux fileserver?

My computer will automatically switch to ethernet, but you can check for yourself in the network pane of System Preferences. You may be able to keep connected after a restart by adding the server to your login items.

thanks for your reply so quickly! I'm new to mac, so my quesion is how to I add it to my login items?

Note: I just baught a macbook pro and I'm so glad I didn't buy another PC!!! Also one more thing you should know about me is that I am an IT guy so you don't need to go into insane detail

The login items tab is located in the Accounts panel of System Preferences. Just drag the server to there, and it will add it to the login items. It may have to ask you for a password to connect.
