I hate to be a wet blanket, but this isn't the correct solution.

Well, actually it is, just the wrong service is being depended on.

Why not LanManWorkstation? It's the MS network client. Cygwin doesn't
depend on that, and some folk (I'm one) do not run it. In fact, folk on
Novell networks that have performance tuned their NT workstations && use
NAL for management are also unlikely to run it..

I suggest depending on the TCPIP service instead.
