I've got my Macbook in the living room... I've got a wireless network, and all my iTunes music/movies are stored on a network drive in my office. In order for me to access them, I must always go to a "Finder" window, "Network", and select the network drive and 'connect' to it. How can I keep this constantly connected, so that every time I start up my Macbook, it connects?

When you connect to your Music sharepoint, it should ask you for a username and password, and at the bottom of the authentication screen, there's a checkbox called "Save in Keychain". Check this box, and your Keychain will keep the username and password you've entered. Then, once you've got the Music sharepoint mounted on the desktop, go to System Prerences --> Account --> Your Account --> Login Items. Drag the Music sharepoint icon into this window adn you'll see it added as a Login Item.
And, now, becuase you've told Keychain to save the username and password, and you've added the mounting of that sharepoint as a Login Item, every time you login the OS will mount the sharepoint automagically.
