Would that matter? When I go to Computer Management using the MMC, locate Services on the left hand side (looks just like Services in the AdminTools in Control Panel) and then click Properties for CYGWIN portmap, I see "Path to executable" as d:\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe and "Start Parameters" is blank. Should I insert a -F ?

Very odd. Portmap is about as simple as you can get. Do you have Cygwin installed for just yourself, or for all users? Running portmap as a service executes it under the LocalSystem account, not your user account. > I see all three CYGWIN services (mountd, nfsd, and portmap) > in the Services > listing, so they appear to have been installed correctly, I just > can't get any of them to start via Services. > > Something I just noticed is that if I check the properties of > the CYGWIN > portmap service, under the General tab, the "path to executable" is > d:\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe The reference to cygrunsrv.exe should be correct. If you open the portmap service from the Services display in MMC, does it show "-F" as the start parameter (edit field towards the bottom of the dialog box?) -Samrobb -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
