Greetings, Damian Harty!

>     Z: on /cygdrive/z type unknown (binary)
>     C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

> Q1: Is there something else I need to do after mounting it?

No.

> Q2: Why doesn't it automatically mount the network drives?

It does.

$ ls -ld /?/*

A: and Z: are network drives, indeed.
The "C" in your /cygdrive/ (and the /cygdrive itself) are just folders you
created for some random reason.
They shouldn't be there.
