accessing networked drives

accessing networked drives

[Kunz, Christopher L]

I am unable to access network drives from an xterm started using startxwin ("C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin").  However, if I run cygwin.bat (and start an xterm from there) the network drives seem to work fine.  What am I missing?

ouput from net use below:

Thanks,
Chris


@ENDYMION ~/test
$ net use
New connections will be remembered.

what is the output of "id" in both cases ?
what is the invocation of bash inside cygwin.bat ?

That happens for certain settings of the UAC (via a group policy most
likely) where effectively the sharing of the network connections of
newly generated tokens with the token generated on session login is
switched off.  You'd have to convince your administrators to not use
that setting or re-connect all drives using the new user token.

Achim.
