persistent

I currently connect to a Windows (smb) share via the Finder -> Go -> Connect To Server. I have to type in the IP (although I have saved the credentials in my keychain). If I reboot or logout, I have to do this again.

I would like the SMB share I am connecting to always be available as soon as I login. How can I accomplish this?
