I just had the exact same problem. Here is an excerpt from my strace output:
... 169 1091739 [main] ssh-add 5856 cygwin_getsockopt: WinSock SO_ERROR = 10061 82 1091821 [main] ssh-add 5856 cygwin_getsockopt: 0 = getsockopt (3, 65535, 0x1007, 0x22C884, 0x22C888) 83 1091904 [main] ssh-add 5856 __set_errno: int cygwin_connect(int, const sockaddr*, socklen_t):806 val 111 ... I made sure all my firewall software was turned off but this still happens. Could you suggest what I can do next to debug this? Help appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ssh-add-fails-in-Windows-Vista-tp10235604p21182454.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
