I have searched for this on the packages site[1] and I can not find anything to capture a tpcip network trace in cygwin.  Say it is not so.  Are there any tools to capture simple tcpip local network traces in the actual x86 cygwin snapshots?  If so, are there any spots where I can download and build tcpdump or any tool like that one?  Thanks.

Hello josé,

To my (limited) knowledge, it simply isn't available, presumably
because of elevation requirements on windows or something like that.
I think what you want is winpcap (or npcap?) along with windump... or
maybe wireshark?  All of these are regular windows programs, not ones
that depend on cygwin (though you should be able to use them from
cygwin).
