Can you telnet to port 80? Do you have an /etc/hosts with cygwin.com's
address (which may be stale)?

AFAIK, this doesn't happen, unless you mean someone at your local site.

That's what you're supposed to do.

Are you using an ancient version of setup? What does the first page
report?

Can you access cygwin.com via one of its aliases,
<http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/> or <http://sourceware.org/cygwin/>?
Some mirrors also have copies of setup.exe -- see if getting a more recent
version fixes your problem. The one on cygwin.com is from January 2005,
version 2.457.2.2. Try also getting a snapshot
(<http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-apps/2005-05/msg00250.html>).
HTH,
Igor
