Have you tried starting the service as another user? When you install it as a service, typically the SYSTEM account runs it. Try giving a temporary account (or the account that can start it from the cmd line) the rights detailed in /usr/doc/cygwin/inetutils-x-x-x.README, and starting the service as that account to see if it works. The SYSTEM account is limited in subtle ways that can make troubleshooting difficult.
