I did now in a DOS window (network cable attached). cd \cygnus\cygwin-1.1.0\bin .\strace .\pwd No problem, the command runs without any visible delay and terminates correctly. Now I remove the network cable, and run ".\strace .\pwd" again. The execution seems to hang completely (not only 40 to 80 sec delay, I have been waiting for more than 10 minutes now), the last lines on the screen are 3119 1019256 [main] pwd 1000 sig_send: returning 0 from sending signal -2 12037 1031293 [main] pwd 1000 internal_getlogin: Domain: DEIHF 3200 1034493 [main] pwd 1000 internal_getlogin: Login Server: IHFBDC 3058 1037551 [main] pwd 1000 internal_getlogin: Windows Username: Jakobus 3083 1040634 [main] pwd 1000 lookup_name: name : Jakobus Does this information help? Even if after 10 minutes I attach the network cable again, the process remains hanging. I should perhaps mention that I work on a notebook computer which has a nice suspend function to save the main memory to disk and resume operation without rebooting. For this reason, I almost never boot, and when I work at home (without network connection), I simply switch on the notebook computer again and continue from where I stopped. I have absolutely no problems with other programs (of course when my e-mail program wants to make a POP connection it complains about being unable to connect, or if I want to print to a network printer), everything else runs fine, also the old CYGWIN-B20.1 did run without any trouble this way.
