I have an external drive that I can access by going through network, but when I log off the icon disapears. If this could be dummied down to for an MCSE-that-is-trying-to-get-started-in-the-Mac-world that would be sweet...............
 
When you have the share active on your desktop, drag it to the right side od the divider on the Dock. This will make an alias to the share so that when you log off, you can just click on that and it will come back.

You can also add mounted share in Login Items (located in System Preferences) so that it will automatically mount when you log in. It will require you entering a username and password though, but at least it will automount. :D
 
OK, but after you mounted it did you do what I suggested? After you mount the share to the Mac desktop, if you add it to the Login Items for your account it should open up every time you log in (although you'll probably be prompted for a username and password if required). This is how I have done it before. It's not persistent as when it's added in Windows, but it's the best thing so far.
