Hello Walter,
Many thanks for this report this is actually the first feedback I receive at all for gnome-vfs;)

Greetings,
I have just installed cygwin yesterday, and I am having problems getting gnome-vfs to work. It always hangs in the postinstall. Looking at the script it is trying to execute (/etc/postinstall/gnome-vfs2.sh.done), it is trying to run gconftool-2. If I run that script manually, it also hangs. However, if I cancel the installation, then gnomevfs-ls will work anyway with local directories. However, it doesn't work with a remote webdav-enabled web server. So
gnomevfs-ls http://superbeast.ucsd.edu/~landry/
just hangs. That directory works just fine in Mozilla. ftp seems to work fine with gnomevfs-ls.
I have the firewall disabled, is it evtl. a problem with your firewall settings? gconftool-2 needs to start gconfd-2 to work and gconfd-2 needs access to the local network.
This is on a Windows XP SP2 machine. Is this a known problem? I looked through the archives, but I couldn't find anything pertinent.
I cannot reproduce your observation , it works for me with NT4 as it does with XP/SP2, but see above comment about my firewall settings, try to allow gconfd-2 to access the network, though I have currently no idea which ports it is using.
