Check this out for "curiouser and curiouser":
Start a command shell from inside Cygwin:
% /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/cmd.exe
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Then run "net use"
C:\cygwin\home\daharty>net use
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.
C:\cygwin\home\daharty>
The Cygwin icon (installed by the installer and nothing to do with me) has the
following properties:
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -t "Cygwin" -
If at the DOS prompt I run, say, c:\cygwin\bin\tcsh.exe -l and try "net use"
then all is in order with that command. This is a minty issue; I need not to be
using mintty.
