when to use a ln or a mount

[zzapper]

Hi,
In my confused mind ln and mount seem to achieve the same thing.
In my case I want to have an easy to type path(s) to my old pc

so I typed:-

mount -f -u -b "//dell25/c/" "/o"

but I also tested

ln -s //dell25/c/ /old


In the Cygwin context does one method have any advatanges over the over?
