You now have full access to all of the network drives. You will see an icon on your desktop for each one you selected. However, the Mac does not save these icons after rebooting. If you want to access these drives again after rebooting, you will need to repeat these steps. Since you saved the server address though, you will not have to re-enter it. You will simply select it from the favorites.
