A new Windows 7 32 system with a fresh install of CYGWIN can't see any mapped network or shared drives on my other systems. On the older XP system IT tells me to replace and on another older Windows 7 32 system, CYGWIN could access all drives. What am I missing in the install that enables access to those drives? >From the startup window from CYGWIN.BAT the net use command works successfully >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RM3@McBroomRC4 ~ $ net use \\\\mcbroomrc2\\e The command completed successfully.

On a CYGWIN restart "net use" shows the network names as being disconnected and reissuing the command doesn't change the status. However, re-establishing the soft link allows full usability.
