  10 to 1 you've misconfigured your firewall or anti-virus or similar security
related software.  That's always been the commonest cause of cygwin
network-related problems.

Well, we can't diagnose your config because you haven't supplied it.

Oh, so you have *many* cygwin/GNU packages installed.  Well then *that's*
your problem.  You can't install more than 3 without upgrading to a full
Cygwin license, which is $$$.  What do you expect for free?

All kidding aside, it's hard for people on this list to take helping you
seriously when you don't bother to read and follow the advice already
given.  If you don't want to provide a complete problem report, you're
not obligated to but people reading your email messages aren't going to
be encouraged to help you with your problem.  Just food for thought.

Internet Apps (cvs, lynx, svn) spits out an error about not being able to connect to the internet

2006-05-17 Thread Charli Li
In Cygwin, when I want to check out source code from cvs, it spits out
something that has to do with: cannot create socket.  When I want to browse
the WWW with lynx, it spits out an error about cannot access the startpage.
Now, just recently, when I want to start up X11, it spits out cannot create
socket.  The internet features worked before some time, but now it is
completely blocked!
