Subject: setup 2.427 problem: Can't get list of download sites

I previously had cygwin installed, but had not used it for a few weeks.  I
tried to run an rsync shell script and it continued to fail with a
"connection refused" message.  In continuing to diagnose the problem, I ran
an ethereal trace and noticed that absolutely no traffic (other than a DNS
lookup) was being generated by the rsync command.

I decided to delete my entire cygwin installation and re-install just to
confirm that nothing was corrupted.  I downloaded the latest setup.exe from
cygwin.com.  When I run the setup program, and choose "Direct connection"
(which I am), I get the error message "Can't get list of download sites.
Make sure your network settings are correct and try again".

Once again, I ran an Ethereal trace, and I am getting NO outbound network
traffic at all generated by setup.

I am running Windows XP Service Pack 1.  I do NOT have the Windows XP
firewall active.  I am NOT running any other firewall such as Zone Alarm,
etc.

Any idea what to check in network setup?

Other things I have tried include:

*  netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
*  Starting in safe mode, going into device manager and deleting my network
adapters.  This causes them to get reinstalled, just to verify that the
network configuration is "fresh".

I am about out of ideas here.  I am having no other issues with the PC in
terms of network connectivity.  All Windows-based (non-cygwin) programs
behave as designed.  If I download *any* cygwin program, for instance, there
is the "bundled" version of rsync and cygwin (cwrsync) available, it does
not behave properly and access the network appropriately.
