Subject: Problem with ping in Windows Vista

Nothing to do with Cygwin, but I had some connectivity issues on Vista 
Business that took me quite a while to sort out. I was able to ping by IP 
address, but not by name. The only solution I found was to run (in the cmd 
shell) 'msconfig' and elect for a "Selective startup" that disabled "IP 
Helper".

Hard to say whether your issue is connected with "IP helper", but disabling 
it is something you could try if all else fails.

Cheers,
Rob
