What says: set | grep TMP set | grep TEMP As I mentioned in another message, I managed to get gnome-vfs working by removing all traces of gconfd. However, I have to do this periodically, because gconfd hangs around too long. If I run my program, then gconfd doesn't exit when the program exits. So when I exit cygwin and log out, gconfd leaves around stale locks. Am I doing something wrong?

I was on vacation. In any case, this was crucial. The temp directory turned out to be somewhere else. There was a gconfd directory that I removed, and it works for webdav directories. This would also explain why reinstalling cygwin didn't work. I would delete all of C:cygwin to start over, but it wouldn't delete that temp directory (something like C:Documents and Folders/(username)/something/something/Temp).

Probably the same reason why gnomevfs-ls hangs for you, the tools are just sitting there and waiting until gconfd-2 is ready. It only hangs for http. ftp and local stuff seems to work fine.

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. I tried disabling the built in Windows firewall, but it still wouldn't work. I am behind a hardware router which has its own firewall, but that has never caused problems in Linux. 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.
