		set target of Finder window 1 to folder "COAL" of item "Network"
	end tell
	tell application "Finder"

		{name:"smb\stephenson1"acurran"}

try just getting the mount volume to work. Like…

mount volume “smb://server.domain.com” as user name “theuser” with password “thepass”

Then look in /Volumes or /Network (/Volumes is it, I think) for mount points. You can create an alias to those.

Is it posible to mount a windows volume that is not on active directorys and has no DNS entry.

Sure, but it has to have a static IP. If it does, just use the IP number instead of the network name.
