Hello, I have encountered same problem after upgrading to 1.7.x. First to say that I'm not so familiar with all of that.
I was running a ssh-server and connect with Putty to my server using a tunnel. Everything works fine till today. After upgrading to 1.7.x and trying to connect to my server I get the following message: 2 [main] -bash 3776 C:\CygWin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't dynamically determine load address for 'WSAGetLastError' (handle 0xFFFFFFFF), Win32 error 126 Tried to set up new sshd but no change. Any ideas? Happy X-Mas. :) René Berber-2 wrote: > > Michael H. wrote: > > [snip] >> The steps to reproduce have been done directly after installing Cygwin >> without any modifications.
