Now that 1.7.6 has appeared at my favorite mirror I repeated the test:

pc> uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 p01080268 1.7.6(0.230/5/3) 2010-08-16 16:06 i686 Cygwin
pc> ls -ls //junk/file
ls: cannot access //junk/file: No such file or directory

Great, it's fixed.

But wait:

pc> ls -ls //server/junk
0 -rw-r--r-- 1 lemkemch Domain Users 0 Dec  1  2006 //server/junk

I was wrong above, here is a server called 'server'.  But it doesn't have
a file 'junk'.
=20
Doing the equivalent from a DOS box:

U:\>dir \\server\junk
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

P.S. Sorry for breaking the thread, can't do any better at the moment.
