I previously had cygwin installed, but had not used it for a few weeks. I tried to run an rsync shell script and it continued to fail with a "connection refused" message. In continuing to diagnose the problem, I ran an ethereal trace and noticed that absolutely no traffic (other than a DNS lookup) was being generated by the rsync command.
I decided to delete my entire cygwin installation and re-install just to confirm that nothing was corrupted. I downloaded the latest setup.exe from cygwin.com. When I run the setup program, and choose "Direct connection" (which I am), I get the error message "Can't get list of download sites. Make sure your network settings are correct and try again". Once again, I ran an Ethereal trace, and I am getting NO outbound network traffic at all generated by setup. I am running Windows XP Service Pack 1. I do NOT have the Windows XP firewall active. I am NOT running any other firewall such as Zone Alarm, etc. Any idea what to check in network setup? Other things I have tried include: * netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt * Starting in safe mode, going into device manager and deleting my network adapters. This causes them to get reinstalled, just to verify that the network configuration is "fresh". I am about out of ideas here. I am having no other issues with the PC in terms of network connectivity. All Windows-based (non-cygwin) programs behave as designed. If I download *any* cygwin program, for instance, there is the "bundled" version of rsync and cygwin (cwrsync) available, it does not behave properly and access the network appropriately. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
