bash not functional on laptop with wireless (VPN) connection

[Browning, Jeff]

All:

Yes, I am running the Cisco VPN client in addition to a wireless network
connection. So I just tested it with the wireless on, but the VPN off.
It works fine. Therefore, the problem is the VPN connection not the
wireless connection.

My Cisco VPN client is version 4.0.2. My Cygwin was downloaded
yesterday, so it should be fairly up-to-date. My bash shell reports
2.05b.

My question, then, is how to use Cygwin, including the X server, in
conjunction with my VPN connection.

Regards,
Jeff

...and it bounced due to a keyword in the subject (presumably "XFree").
So I changed the subject.
