Hello Jorge. To answer the second part of your question:
char buffer[1024]; strcpy(buffer,print_hw_addr (lease -> hardware_addr.htype, lease -> hardware_addr.hlen, lease -> hardware_addr.haddr)); char * pos = buffer; while (*pos != '\0') { if (*pos == ':') *pos = '-'; pos++; } // and so on.... Using sed in this case is like shooting with cruise missiles on talibans....

Also are you trying to run the compiled program from the cygwin shell or from the windows command prompt ? Output of cygcheck -r -s -v would be vuseful too. This is a problem which was brought to the mailing list some time ago though solution was not found then.
