I wonder if the queried hosts are doing some sort of reverse DNS lookup, and finding that your newhostname doesn't match the DNS records.

Don't ping. Instead, at your local machine, do $ hostname Is this what it should be, i.e., newhostname? $ ipconfig Does this return the IP address that it should? $ nslookup newhostname Does this match the IP address allocated to your machine? $ nslookup current-ip-address Does this match newhostname? Repeat for oldhostname as appropriate. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
