Thank you for getting back to me. 1. Here's my path
/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/etc:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:.:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/syst em32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/WINDO WS/system32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/Progra~1/WI4507~1:/cygdrive/c /Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_24/bin:/cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/furashg/Scripts:/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1:/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/QuickTime/QTSystem So ETC seems to be in the path above. 2. In ETC, there's a file named "protocols" which points to the windows protocols file and has the following: # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This file contains the Internet protocols as defined by RFC 1700 # (Assigned Numbers). # # Format: # # <protocol name> <assigned number> [aliases...] [#<comment>] ip 0 IP # Internet protocol icmp 1 ICMP # Internet control message protocol ggp 3 GGP # Gateway-gateway protocol tcp 6 TCP # Transmission control protocol egp 8 EGP # Exterior gateway protocol pup 12 PUP # PARC universal packet protocol udp 17 UDP # User datagram protocol hmp 20 HMP # Host monitoring protocol xns-idp 22 XNS-IDP # Xerox NS IDP rdp 27 RDP # "reliable datagram" protocol rvd 66 RVD # MIT remote virtual disk -----Original Message----- From: Gerry Reno [mailto:gr...@verizon.net] Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2011 2:51 PM To: Furash, Gary F - (furashg) Subject: Re: Continued Networking Issues On 03/31/2011 05:10 PM, Furash, Gary F - (furashg) wrote: > I still haven't solved the networking issues on my PC.
