Re: Setup.exe fails to access mirrors
Hi,
I quit my firewall program after this failed the first time just to
check that and it made no difference. Possibly related is that I haven't
been able to ssh at all for the past few days and I can't figure out
why, although that could be completely separate.

I have no problems accessing the website. I just tried to install the

When I run the setup.exe program, it fails when trying to access the

functions fine for everything else. I've also tried IE5 but that
doesn't work either.
Works fine from here now. Do you have trouble accessing the cygwin
site?
Nathaniel,
Are you running any personal/desktop firewall software? You might wish to
check the logs to see if it's blocking setup's attempts to access the
mirror list. Some (in particular, Symantec Desktop Firewall) provide a
log of all web accesses by all programs (including those from setup.exe);
see if setup actually accessed
