No, I don't have that kind of information. However, I can say that the Cygwin function (cygwin_getservbyname()) is just a wrapper that calls the Winsock getservbyport() function. So, the MSDN may have some information regarding this function and Winsock which may be applicable to your situation. Then again, it may not. ;-) Sorry I don't have more specific suggestions for you.
