I use this script to mount the server at home over a wireless connection. I know it’s probably been written many a time but it is one of my first scripts.

OS version: OS X

tell application "Finder"
	try
		set server_Off to "Server Not On!!"
		set server_On to "Server Mounted!!"
		set server_AlreadyOn to "Server Already On"
		set ping_result to (do shell script "ping -c 1 xxx.xxx.x.x")
		
        if "100% packet loss" is in ping_result then
			display dialog server_Off buttons "OK" default button 1 with icon 2
			error number -128 --user cancelled
		end if

		mount volume "smb://userName:password@IP Address/volumeName"
		display dialog server_On buttons "OK THEN" default button 1 with icon 2 giving up after 10
	on error number -55
		display dialog server_AlreadyOn buttons "OK" default button 1 with icon 2
		error number -128 --user cancelled
	end try
end tell

i modified your code to make it a bit more user /applescripter friendly

set serverIP to "192.168.0.174" --enter the ip of the server here
set ShareName to "SHARE NAME" -- enter the share name here ***Make sure it is in "CAPS"
set username to "username" --you know what this is 
set pass to "password" --And this one ass well

--only edit the above code
tell application "Finder"
	try
		set server_Off to "Server Not On!!"
		set server_On to "Server Mounted!!"
		set server_AlreadyOn to "Server Already On"
		set ping_result to (do shell script "ping -c 1 -q " & serverIP)
		
		if "100% packet loss" is in ping_result then
			display dialog server_Off buttons "OK" default button 1 with icon 2
			error number -128 --user cancelled
		end if
		
		mount volume "smb://" & username & ":" & pass & "@" & serverIP & "/" & ShareName
		display dialog server_On buttons "OK THEN" default button 1 with icon 2 giving up after 10
	on error number -55
		display dialog server_AlreadyOn buttons "OK" default button 1 with icon 2
		error number -128 --user cancelled
	end try
end tell

How can I add a prompt for the username and password to this script.

I would like it to prompt the user for login info and redirect to their home user folder.

Home folder would match the username

Is there a way to do this?

Trying to save users from having to go to the go menu - connect to server - etc…
