I have no idea.

First wget doesn't understand IPX so there's no reason for it to try to
load it.

Second "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" is the standard message
all windows programs prints when tried to run in DOS mode. Since
cygwin's wget is a windows program you should not run it in DOS see if
you have any PIF file around that enables DOS mode and that you're
actually using cygwin's wget.

Output from `cygcheck wget` and `which -a wget` may help you further
troubleshooting.
