I have already done that, and I have not found the solution.

There are two possible explanations for this:
1- The "host" utility is not available at Cygwin
2- I didn't find it, even using the "Setup Package Search" utility.

That's why I ask again the same question:

If the "host" utility is available in cygwin, which cygwin package 
should I install to have it?

otherwise, is there are simple "host" alternative in a cygwin package?
(console application, not a graphical user interface)


Many thanks,
DAvid
