Windows is lying to you: The file is *not* there. Windows Vista and Win7 in the 64 bit variants have the file system redirector (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384187%28VS.85%29.aspx, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384249%28VS.85%29.aspx) which makes all of this a mess. Cygwin is a 32 bit application; this, it does NOT see %WINDIR%\System32, but %WINDIR%\SysWOW64. I am sure nbtstat.exe does not exist there, right? HTH, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
