O learned Denizens,

I'm best described as a feverish fumbler rather than some sort of expert. However, I have been around the block a few times but now I find myself feeling like a newbie again.

I've just realised that in my new place of employment, my Windows 7 64 Bit laptop isn't seeing the network drives under cygwin the way it used to "by magic" in my old place of employment.

I can mount them using, amazingly, the mount command - or make this "permanent" in the /etc/fstab file:

    H:   /cygdrive/h ntfs binary 0 0
    Z:   /cygdrive/z ntfs binary 0 0

I can test that it works:

    % mount
    C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
    C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
    C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
    H: on /cygdrive/h type unknown (binary)
    Z: on /cygdrive/z type unknown (binary)
    C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

...which is lovely, except that it doesn't work as advertised:

    % cd /cygdrive
    % ls
    c

    %

Q1: Is there something else I need to do after mounting it?

Q2: Why doesn't it automatically mount the network drives?

I looked at the FAQs and googled and googled, all I got were repated descriptions of the mount command, having read all of them I am still missing something.

Thanks in advance,

Damian
