Is this (or a remote system) an AD member? If names resolution is a culprit, try setting up cygserver, it may speed up name resolution. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Monday, November 20, 2017 20:01:40 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
