All,

I downloaded and ran setup.exe. I have Windows Vista x64. I get to the part=
 that wants to pick a download site. None are listed, it should automatical=
ly find the sites for me. Anyways, I go back to your site, find a mirror th=
en click on it. Example: http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/cygwin/cygwin/. I then=
 copy from the address bar and past it into the setup.exe and click add. I =
am not typing it. I then click next. I get an error that says "Unable to ge=
t setup.ini from <http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/cygwin/cygwin/>. I can access=
 the mirror myself from my web browser. Why can't I get the full download a=
nd download it myself, then install it? This is probably a firewall issue o=
r a setup glitch. Normally when a program wants access to the internet, my =
firewall triggers and asks me if I want to let the program through. This se=
tup program seems to not even try to get to the internet. Does anyone have =
a resolution to this problem. For example, what needs to change on the fire=
wall to let setup through?

Chris
