Make sure you have the symbolic links "hosts", "networks", "services", and
(especially) "protocols" (those symlinks should have been created
automatically when you installed Cygwin). Post the output of "ls -l
/etc/{hosts,networks,services,protocols}". /etc/protocols should contain
the following line:
tcp 6 TCP # Transmission control protocol
If that is not your problem, please read and follow
