Larry,
I submitted a later post where I found that the problem occurs when
the VM networking mode is NAT. Okay with bridged. I've submitted a
support request to VMware. John.

I have cygwin installed on a VMWare VM running Windows 7 on a Mac

address. I found the link below, and several others that reference the
problem, but no solution. Is there a solution to this problem?

I do not have this problem with machines running XP either on VMs or
natively. I've created a partial workaround in my .bashrc file that
creates
variables containing the IP addresses of the names I need to resolve.
This
solution doesn't work with svn working copies if the repository has a
dynamic address because the IP address of the repository at checkout
will be
coded in the .svn/entries file. If the IP address of the svn server
changes
I'm won't be able to perform svn operations.
Have you talked to the VMWare folks about this? It does seem like an
odd issue that only affects name resolution on VMware with Win7.
