UNC paths not working

Windows 7 x64, Conemu 140814 (64)

I have enabled UNC support by ticking Startup>Comspec>Support UNC paths in cmd, saved
the setting and restarted Conemu (may times) yet any try to reach a network disk ends
with:

C:\>cd \\192.168.1.1\
'\\192.168.1.1\'
CMD does not support UNC paths as current directories.

The same happens also with any share folder name. I can see them just fine in Explorer,
the samba server is password protected, i am logged in with Explorer.

I can reach it with Cygwin all right so it's not a total showstopper, but would be
nice to have working if it's supposed to work in plain CMD?

"\\192.168.1.1\" is not a path, it's just a server name!
The path obviously must contain at least share name!

Would it be possible to make Conemu support viewing of the server top level, like both
Explorer and Cygwin do? Yeah my bad, but it's confusing it works differently, now have
to find out the share names out in Explorer in advance, then go directly to them.

ConEmu is not a shell, remember?
Mentioned feature is just a hack for cmd's frustration. It can work with network paths
but can't cd there itself.

Again, "\\192.168.1.1\" is not a path, it's just a server name!

List of shares? Why do you asking me or cmd? )
Just run: net view \\192.168.1.1

I didn't know about net view, thank you!
