Hello ljubomir,

Hmm I have to check MSDN for more information but it seems that the
Inet API (which is used when you check "User IE5 Settings") is the
culprit.

However, is it possible to type in your username in the usual place in
the InternetExplorer settings and leave the password empty ? This will
solve your problem.

Yes, this is known problem - in fact I'm sure once I had a patch for
this but it didn't make its way into the setup.exe source :( Or more
accurate it seems I didn't send it to the cygwin-patches list at
all... I dont remember why:(
