I suggest checking the anti-virus logs for blocking of 'pups' (Potentially Unwanted Programs) I have found many antivirus packages will explicitly block certain patterns unless they are told in advance to exclude from blocking, and even then will sometimes block. The netcat binaries are blocked particularly often... Also, if you can, try installing in disposable VMs, one with and one without the antivirus. If you get the same results with the same antivirus in the VM and it works fine in the VM without the antivirus, you've confirmed it is definitely the antivirus even if the antivirus does not log that it is doing so. -- Erik -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
