could check your network settings under Windows to see if it properly points to your router for DNS.
Can this advice be reduced to a simple instruction for someone who doesn't understand what he is doing? One reason I use Cygwin is to avoid having to learn anything about Windows. Simply killing known_hosts when necessary is a pretty good solution for me, since the IP adresses seem stable for weeks at a time, perhaps until I go out of town for a while and leases run out. I don't know whether these leases come from Windows or from the router. If I understand correctly, Windows XP can support a LAN even without a router.
