Well, yes. That may be why you're getting the multiple volume names you're mounting it multiple times . If it shows in the sidebar as 'dlink-54ce89' then it's mounted already, and if you want to see it on the desktop, you'll want to check the box in Finder prefs to show network volumes on the desktop; in 10.5, for some utterly unfathomable reason, Apple decided to make 'don't show them' the default. Mine is proving quite reliable, I dragged the mounted volume icon to my startup items and it's coming up every time I boot. As one name. But I did have a memory stick that behaved like that for a long while, every time I stuck it in it would come up as Untitled_5 or _6 or _7. (and ever since I nuked a usb stick containing some irreplaceable files by yanking it without ejecting it, I'm ALWAYS careful about ejecting them properly, when possible. This would happen even when it was ejected properly) I cold make it go away temporarily by using Go> go to folder, entering /Volumes in the box and deleting all the Unititled folders but the currently mounted one. I don't know what caused it, but it did not reoccur after an unrelated issue forced me to do an archive&reinstall of the OS. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
