shared-folders

Through the normal processes I enter my shared music folder on my Windows computer, i.e.: Places > Network > Windows pc > Music. After rebooting my Ubuntu laptop, however, this connection isn't automatically set again.

My question: How do I get Ubuntu to automatically connect to that shared folder after login (while first checking whether the Windows computer is 'online')?

This because I added the folder to the Banshee Library, and I currently first have to go to the shared folder manually before Banshee can play the files.
