Re: Connecting to cygwin ssh is slow

Re: Connecting to cygwin ssh is slow

Thanks for both of your ideas and quick reply. I tried your suggestions but that still doesn't improve the situation... I experience the same delays no matter how frequent I log in and out, and I always use the IP address anyways. Anything else we can try? Thanks. Udi. -- View this message in c
