Regardless of this data point, if you are having this type of problem there is something wrong with either your Windows installation, the driver for your network card, or your computer.

If it could, that's an exploit just waiting to happen. cgf -- 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/
