Ok, that's probably different then. If you've made any changes recently that affect your firewall, that's something to check though. >> There have been lots of problems reported on the Cygwin/X list about >> ZoneAlarm5, though the issues there are a bit different. > >AFAIK setup.exe has nothing to do with X--am I missing something? No, you're not. I brought up Cygwin/X to explain the source of the information and issues surrounding ZoneAlarm. X has nothing to do with your problem. But there's a (remote) chance that your 'setup.exe' problem is firewall related. That's all I was suggesting. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
