Chris, XWin.exe doesn't directly get the list of available IP interfaces. Rather, it has cygwin1.dll provide it with that list. There have been problems before with Token Ring cards not showing up in the list of adapters, as well as other little sublities that have been worked out over the

Hi Harold, I seem to have the latest drivers, I checked a couple of weeks ago, no harm in doing so on a regular basis. It just strikes me as weird that although I can telnet into a box over it I can't start a server on it. Add that to ipconfig /all and it makes it very confusing. I'll send

Right now I use cygwin xfree for terminal emulation, more or less. But it would be nice to be able to use an X windowmanager instead of Explorer. So all the applications, even stuff like IE or WinAMP, are managed through the X window manager. As I understand it the current efforts with a
