Without looking, I'm guessing that you have CDPATH set, and that it
includes a network path.

Prepending . or .. disables CDPATH searching.

I almost had it.  bash is checking your cdrom drive for a possible match
on every unanchored cd call.  Also, I have never tested CDPATH with a
DOS-style path, but it certainly doesn't help matters.  If you still want
to use CDPATH in bash, at least convert it to a cygwin-style /cygdrive/d,
not d:\.  But most likely, since CD paths tend to be transient, you are
better off unsetting it altogether.
