We're using Cygwin/XFree86 4.1 at work to connect to a linux server and find it *extremely* reliable: Over 20 boxes and no such problems yet. What message do you get? Are these problems timeouts, refused connections, do other things work from a box when it can't connect? What else is running on these boxes? There's a lot of "utilities" and virus scanners out there which severely damage the network stuff on Windows. To me, it looks more like a network problem than a cygwin problem. HTH Edi
