Quite a bit, I'm afraid. Linda, you've been around long enough that
we shouldn't have to ask for basic information like cygcheck output
and other bootstrap information. What, exactly, is this server?
How are you connecting to it from the client? What protocols are
involved? How have you configured them? All this information
at least is necessary for someone here to start providing any useful
feedback. Without it, all we can do is guess. Don't make us guess.
It's not very accurate. ;-)
