title: Mounting network drive works in DOS, but breaks in Cygwin. Why?
body: <p>I'm using VirtualBox to set up a windows 2008 server. I'd like to add a shared folder, but am running into problems.</p>
  
  <p>Running this in DOS works:</p>
  
  <pre><code>net use t: \\vboxsrv\v-root
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But in Cygwin:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ net use t: "\\vboxsrv\v-root"
  System error 53 has occurred.
  
  The network path was not found.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've also tried these:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ net use t: \\vboxsrv\v-root
  $ net use t: \\\\vboxsrv\\v-root
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I've tried creating a bat script containing the working DOS command, and executing it from cygwin. They all fail with the same error.</p>
  
  <p>I need to do it through Cygwin, because I access the system via SSH, and land in a Cygwin environment. If there is any way to "break out" of cygwin temporarily from within Cygwin, that might be a way to go..</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing?</p>
