Re: 1.7: hostname resolution works for Windows programs, but not Cygwin programs

Hostname resolution stopped working for Cygwin programs in 2 other
Cygwin installations which were upgraded from Cygwin 1.5 too: one of
these installations is on howard, which is a desktop running Windows
2000 Professional Edition SP4 i386. The other is optiplex960, a tower
running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition SP2 32-bit, which was upgraded
from SP1.

Hostname resolution has started working for Cygwin programs on optiplex960 since the last time I tried, even though the Windows (non-Cygwin) version of nslookup returns NXDOMAIN for the same hostname. Strange, but at least it works. So now only howard + brolin-V13 need to be fixed.
