As reported by 'net use'.  That doesn't appear to be very significant
from what I found.

Right.  For you.  As I said, this works like I would expect when installing
and configuring as the Cygwin site says so I can only conclude that the
problem is your configuration.  That's why I directed you to the 
erdelynet.com list, since that's where you got the information to configure
your installation.
