As reported by 'net use'. That doesn't appear to be very significant from what I found. >> Not necessarily. Did you try to access the mapped drives?

As I said, this works like I would expect when installing and configuring as the Cygwin site says so I can only conclude that the problem is your configuration. That's why I directed you to the erdelynet.com list, since that's where you got the information to configure your installation. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
