Well, it seems that you'r right. In the w95 box, I got the following : OS Version: Windows 9x 4.0 Build 67306684 B Querying devices using ioctl lo: family=TCP/IP (0) addr=127.0.0.1 Querying devices using internal function lo: family=TCP/IP (0) addr=127.0.0.1 So it is the case you noticed. With the other Windows box, I got the real IP address with this command. Why does cygwin1.dll try to get the IP address since I passed the -from option in the command line of XWin. It should use this address and ignore the cygwin1.dll request in this case, shouldn't it ? Any suggestion ? PS: I've got around 300 potential users but I cannot check every network cards, of course. I am now in the test process before broadcasting Cygwin/XFree86 in place of E....d. Finally, regarding the xlauncher, I made one of my own inspired from the one of Tim. I don't want to relaunch a discussion about the tool to use or not. I am in the same situation as Tim. I made one of my own for these reasons : - french interface (french users) - specific options or restrictions - I prefer to have text configuration files instead of register entries : easier to adapt and duplicate on several PCs. The main idea of this final remark is the last point : text configuration file, and is essentially turned to whoever wants to make such a xlauncher...
