Once you have selected the appropriate server, hit the OK button.

Once you have hit OK the chooser will prompt you to enter a user name and password to access the particular share. For these values simply use your existing account information, in the name box enter your login, in the password box enter your account password. After you have done this correctly your home directory will show up as an icon on the desktop and can be accessed as if it were a regular folder.
