Thanks for the ideas...
None of the computers at my site can connect to cygwin.com:80, I did try
to telnet... "Connection refused" is the closest to an explaination
I've received.
I did check windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, no cygwin entry....
cygwin works for other ports, only 80 is refused. So I checked my
Sonicwall/firewall, but there's no filters that I could see that have
anything to do with cygwin or port 80, let alone both.

I used ncftpget -R
ftp://mirror.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/release/* Upon
reflection wget probably would have made this much simpler... because
ncftpget only works 2 directory levels deep in recursion. Then I used
setup.exe to install from a local directory. But there appears to be no
specific source listing of packages to install. It listed everything
and the cited packages caused setup.exe to GPF.

2.457.2.2 is the version of setup I had those issues with.
I tried an older one (February 2004 version) too, but think it had the
same issues.

I copied a psudo snapshot from mirrors.kernel.org as mentioned, using
ncftpget. Althought this does not resolve my issue of connecting to
cygwin.com:80 I was able to install from the local directory, everything
except those 4 packages.
Running setup again, it gpfs immediatly on the on the same packages. My
guess is that those packages aren't supposed to be installed in a clean
setup, though mhash seems like it doesn't belong in that mix.
