I've yet to get "net use" to work for me via cygwin.

net use Z: \\W.X.Y.Z\Share <password>

tries to prompt me with a question:

Z: has a remembered connection to \\W.X.Y.Z\Share.  Do you want to 
overwrite the remembered connection? (Y/N) [Y]:
No valid response was provided

I.e., it never gives me the opportunity to answer the question.

If I try changing the drive letter, I get error 67, the network name cannot 
be found.

Note that "net use" by itself continues to show the "Unavailable" status 
for the Z: drive with that share.
