I got the below info from http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/highlights.html#ov-hi-sockets - 'Socket-related calls in Cygwin basically call the functions by the same name in Winsock, Microsoft's implementation of Berkeley sockets, but with lots of tweaks.' But, It does not clearly convey whether cygwin uses Microsoft's winsock . Does cygwin use winsock ? If cygwin uses winsock, then i think the raw socket usage restrictions applied for further releases from 'Windows XP with SP2' is applicable for cygwin also.:-(
Cygwin does not provide its own implementation for sockets. It uses Winsock V2 so basic restrictions imposed by Winsock will constrain Cygwin as well. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
