I am sat at the laptop keyboard running the laptop in question. I log into its Windows desktop in the normal fashion.
So, to recap:
- Windows can see the networked drives just fine.
- Cygwin knows about them but declares them unavailable.
Since I don't know what I don't know, I am unable to fashion a precision question to proceed further, except to ask "what stands between me and the ability to make the network drives available from within cygwin?"
