Carlos, Sorry I didn't get back to you, but you did find the explanation in the FAQ. Basically, Aventail does something to the TCP/IP stack that breaks compatibility with the standards that Cygwin and XFree86's sockets layers are expecting. Aventail replaces a couple of Windows DLLs with its own versions, thus it does not matter if Aventail is running or not, because you are always passing your sockets requests through their broken DLLs. If you ask me, that is simply a design flaw or implementation flaw with Aventail and they need to fix that. You, being a paying customer, should demand that of them.
