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?
 
From the startup window from CYGWIN.BAT the net use command works successfully

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?
