- Subject: Cygwin, Windows Shared Drive Access
A new Windows 7 32 system with a fresh install of CYGWIN can't see any mapped
network or shared drives on my other systems. On the older XP system IT tells
me to replace and on another older Windows 7 32 system, CYGWIN could access all
drives. What am I missing in the install that enables access to those drives?

The shares don't seem to be shown anywhere on the system tree but I can soft
link them to a directory name and then access them.
On a CYGWIN restart "net use" shows the network names as being disconnected and
reissuing the command doesn't change the status. However, re-establishing the
soft link allows full usability.
Gremlins?
