Telnet, ftp, rlogin and remote display of X windows working OK. I did not really use cygwin for the last months but yesterday when I tried to use these programs I got: Telnet xxx telnet: tcp/telnet: unknown service Rlogin xxx rlogin: login/tcp: unknown service. Ping xxx icmp: unknown protocol xxx is located on intranet so I'm not passing any firewalls. Yesterday I decided to erase the old version of Cygwin and install the latest version of Cygwin/X. Same problem. I think I downloaded all needed files. I searched the FAQs, the mailing list and Google for this problem, no result. Telnet, ping, mail and Internet works OK from Windows and I am using the Cygwin versions of Telnet and ping. Since, as far as I know, I did not change anything important on this machine, perhaps those IT people remotely did some kind of upgrade. There is a new program called "ePolicy" that I did not install. Unfortunately, asking the IT people about Cygwin will only tell me: "That is unsupported software". PC is a Dell laptop with Windows 2000 and SP4. Filesystem is FAT32 so I suppose there are no problems with permisions. :.________________ CONFIDENTIALITE : Ce message et les éventuelles pièces attachées sont confidentiels.
