Stop using mapped drives already...
UNC is there to help you.

...seriously, don't use mapped drives.

You're using it wrong.

...sorry, but they are indeed shown where they are - network places - windows
network ... there they all. Should be, if your network configured properly.

There's nothing to do with cygwin. You don't have a control connection to the
remote server.

net use \\server\IPC$

Once you're authenticated with remote server, you can just use UNC names
directly.
