Access to mapped network drives

[Garth]

Using the Git Bash I have been trying to access a mapped network drive
I set up on Windows but it doesn't seem to be working. Whenever I cd
to Y: it always says that it doesn't exist. I can access it from
Windows, so I know that it's actually connected and in Git Bash I ran
the command "net use" and the drive also shows up there with the
correct mapped drive letter and a status of "OK." Does accessing
mapped network drives not work or am I doing something incorrectly?

I've had this problem myself. You can access //path/to/mapped/drive/
fine, but not /z/ or whatever itself. If I open msys bash I can run
"ls /z/" and it works fine, but git bash just gives a standard "no
file or directory".

Seems fine using msysGit 1.6.3 (bash version 3.1.0(3)-release
A session (I've already mounted \\BADGER\public as U:)

pat@FROG ~$ net use
New connections will be remembered.

Status Local Remote Network

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK U: \\BADGER\public Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.

pat@FROG ~$ ls /u/gitk.git/
Makefile gitk po

pat@FROG ~$

Git commands work ok once I have 'cd /u/gitk.git'. eg: gitk does what I expect.

bash doesn't do
cd Y:
you do
cd /y/
instead

After restarting the computers involved the entire problem seems to
have resolved itself somehow. And both cd Y: and cd /y/ appear to
access the mapped drive.

Thanks for your help!
