If I run net use from a simple DOS prompt (Windows\system32\cmd.exe) I get:
H:\>net use New connections will be remembered. Status Local Remote Network ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK H: \\brt1itssrv003\homes\daharty Microsoft Windows Network OK Z: \\wym1itsnas001\cae3\adams_db Microsoft Windows Network The command completed successfully. Note the drive it starts from, by the way - the one that may or may not be "really mounted". The same thing a moment later from a brand new Cygwin shell produces: % net use New connections will be remembered. Status Local Remote Network ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unavailable H: \\brt1itssrv003\homes\daharty Microsoft Windows Network Unavailable Z: \\wym1itsnas001\cae3\adams_db Microsoft Windows Network The command completed successfully.
