Depending on your Windows version, your /etc/hosts should be a link to either C:\WINDOWS\hosts or %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Edit it and make sure that it contains "localhost". E.g., my /etc/hosts contains: 127.0.0.1 localhost This should allow a gethostbyname("localhost") without network access. If this doesn't work, please review the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> and provide all the requested information.
