Establishing Unix network control under cygwin?

Hi. I've just recently installed cygwin and I'd like to ask a few questions about networking. I've installed practically all the Cygwin packages but I'm frustrated by a couple of trivial little problems. For example, when I do a ping host the host can't be found; I have to put in the fully-q

Your dislike of setup does not translate into your getting support for installing packages without setup. This really falls into the category of "If you can't figure it out you probably shouldn't be doing it". However, the files are just .tar.bz2 files with some extra stuff which is referenced in

Don't like "setup" for ocassional updates

Folks: I've been using Cygwin for many years (~7-8yrs) and I like it very much. Can't do without it. I'm running a "Sacred" version B20. No one touches it! I have total control. As a result, I normally do NOT like upgrades. They always cause me more work to fix problems created by other
