I'm going to guess that the indicated items are your NT Domain
Name, Logon Server Name, and Logon UserName

These lines appear to try to contact your PDC or BDC to try and
detemine your logon account profile information.  Such as your SID.
 Without this
you may not get proper file permissions set AFAIK. Corinna knows
more about
this than I.

I believe that since Windows caches account information and uses it
when the
domain controller can't be contacted, it might well behoove Cygwin
to cache
the same information on a successful connect, and give up on the
connection after the first failed try, using instead the cached
info.

Unfortunately, AFAICS there is nothing to be done about the first
long delay
because even WinNT takes a longer time booting without a domain
controller to
contact.  Unless something is present in the registry to indicate
caches
account status, Cygwin has to try and see for itself if the host is
there.
