I seem to be having problem with running setup.exe because it says "Can't get the list of download sites.". This is what I've found so far:
1. I can use my mozilla browser to access http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst
2. Performed a packet trace on setup.exe and found the following HTTP transaction by setup.exe:
GET /cygwin/mirrors.lst HTTP/1.0\r\n Host: sources.redhat.com\r\n \r\n
and remote site reset the TCP link.
3. I ran "telnet sources.redhat.com 80" and executed the above instructions and it failed as expected
4. I then tried the telnet again with the following instructions:
GET /cygwin/mirrors.lst HTTP/1.0\r\n Host: sources.redhat.com\r\n User-Agent: cygwin \r\n
And it works!
I suggest that the setup.exe program be fixed so that the download can work.
P.S. I do not use a web proxy and I don't think my ISP uses a transparent proxy.
