Hi. I've just recently installed cygwin and I'd like to ask a few questions
about networking.
I've installed practically all the Cygwin packages but I'm frustrated by a
couple of trivial little problems. For example, when I do a
ping host
the host can't be found; I have to put in the fully-qualified host name:
ping host.company.com
Make sure that the 'ping' that's being used is from /usr/bin (== /bin),
and not from (for example) WINDOWS/System32
Do a 'which -a', to answer this question.
BTB, in the aforementioned System32 dir, there is also a traceroute --
'tracert', which just like it's name is at least a few characters short
of adequacy, but c'est la defenestration. ;-)
