Hi,
I don't know if this helps but I have Linux running on 'server'
and win98 on 'ppp' (see note below)
Samba links the two - ppp accesses a Samba share 'darryl' (my home directory on server)
>From a bash prompt I can eg;
# mount //Server/darryl/public_html/current_project /home/darryl/current_project
where /home/darryl/current_project is a folder in my cygwin home directory.
There is a post in the archives which questioned the possibility of mounting a floppy with ext2fs
on cygwin. But I gather this isn't what you are trying to.
Note: when I installed cygwin from the internet it changed the name of my win box from 'station'
to 'ppp' and I had to correct my Network Neighbourhood settings accordingly.
I'd like to change it back but haven't got that igured yet.
Hopes this helps, Darryl.
