Hey everyone,

I installed cygwin on my laptop (domain andy-laptop), and it works great 
from here. I installed in a special folder ("My Dropbox") which uses the 
free dropbox service online to synchronize the folder accross multiple 
machines (my other machine is andy-desktop). On the desktop machine 
(also username Andy), I can run cmd and CD to the cygwin directory, I 
can go into the /bin directory and run most of the programs just fine 
for some simple stuff, but it won't load bash correctly.

When I installed cygwin on the laptop, I chose to install only for the 
single user (not the whole machine) and tried to make it avoid any 
registry tampering.

So basically I think I need to figure out how to run bash as the andy 
from andy-laptop on andy-desktop... Or something? I can't figure this 
out and most of the stuff I've read online isn't helping and has to do 
with bash scripting instead of running bash as a user on a different 
domain or something. I'm just kind of confused where to go.

I appreciate any help you can offer, thanks a bunch,
-Andy
