could check your network settings under Windows to see if it properly

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.


You could also create a config file in your .ssh directory and suppress storing the ip address in the known_hosts file for the addresses that change from time to time. Try

man ssh_config

for details.
