attaching a network volume to the desktop.

I have been trying to create a alias on the desktop with no luck can someone give me some hints on where i am going wrong.

on run
	tell application "Finder"
		activate
		make new Finder window to item "Network"
		set target of Finder window 1 to folder "COAL" of item "Network"
	end tell
	tell application "Finder"
		set thefolder to make new alias at desktop with properites
		{name:"smb\stephenson1"acurran"}
		tell the alias
			open
		end tell	
		try
			mount volume "smb\stephenson1"acurran" as user name "acurran" with password "gamma"
		end try
		
		
	end tell
	
end run

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.
