From: Thomas L Roche Message-ID: Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2004 12:42:36 -0400 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" I recently upgraded my Cygwin, using setup.exe, and everything works nicely ... except setup! When I do from Internet, I get the error dialog > Error > Can't get list of download sites. > Make sure your network settings are correct and try again. However all my other networking is OK, e.g. I can browse to http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst without difficulty. When I do this with Connection Type=Direct Connection (my {usual, correct} setting), I get 2004/08/12 23:13:36 Starting cygwin install, version 2.427 2004/08/12 23:13:36 Current Directory: d:\download\Cygwin 2004/08/12 23:13:36 Changing gid to Users 2004/08/12 23:13:36 Could not open service McShield for query, start and stop.

How to make them succeed?
