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.
