I NUKED the sucker yesterday. It took me the better part of an hour to remove all remnants of it since the uninstall was persnickity. I wanted to get the system down to bare bones and I think I succeeded. FWIW, I also had webex running on it which I can imagine would also cause problems. >>If I set the buffer size up to 65536 it still fails. If I set it down >>it still succeeds.

Additionally to XP SP3, 2008, and Windows 7, I now tried with >Windows 2000 and it still works for me. Sorry. What I meant to say was that I upgraded to SP3 after first trying SP2 and it failed in both cases. I don't know why it would matter but this is a virtual machine running under VirtualBox. I guess it is barely possible that the VirtualBox add-ons could cause a problem. Also, grasping at straws, I wonder if it could be related to the ethernet card being used. cgf -- 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
