Using Windows 7 Professional, cygwin, mintty,and bash. All are up to date.
I am getting this:
$ type ping
ping is hashed (/usr/bin/ping)
$ ping www.microsoft.com
ping: socket: Operation not permitted
If I launch mintty "Run as administrator" from Windows, then no such
problem occurs.
I have tried re-installing the "ping" package via cygwin setup.exe. No
improvement.
Output from "cygcheck -s -v -r" attached. Any suggestions?
Cygwin's ping has always required administrative privileges to work. If
this is not acceptable, the current work-around is to use the Windows
version of ping.
