Why not just mount your network shares?

$ mount
\\Winxp-inspiron\c on /inspiron type system (binmode,noexec)
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP on /tmp type system (binmode)
\\Winxp-desk\c on /desk-c type system (binmode,noexec)
\\Winxp-desk\d on /desk-d type system (binmode,noexec)
C:\Cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
