Hi Kevin,,

HOSTS.SAM is a sample file, the actual file should just be HOSTS.  I don't
know if this works for Cygwin binaries but definitely works for windows apps
on NT and Win 9x.

Subject: Hostname lookups on Win95


Hi folks,

I've never been able to get hostname lookups to work on any Cygwin
compiled binaries (lynx, wget, ftp, cvs, etc.), even though "native"
Windows apps can resolve names fine on that machine.  The problem
has occurred with both B20.1 and yesterday's Net Release.

I tried manually adding records to /cydrive/c/WINDOWS/HOSTS.SAM and
/etc/hosts, to no avail.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

TIA,
-Kevin
