I have a file server that I connect to to get and store stuff on. No domain, AD and that other stuff, just a username and password which enables me too see the shared folders on that machine. I notice that whenever I browse to the root of that machine in Finder (i.e. click on its icon), I get the whole "Connecting..." schpiel which takes a second or two. Once done, the browsing and copying is normal, but if I go back to the root (by clicking the back arrow in Finder), once I reach the root it will do the whole "Connecting..." thing again, thus wasting time.

Why does it do this? I have saved the username and password on my keychain. Why does it authenticate again and again in the same session?
