I am unable to get name resolution to work with ssh. The command ssh X returns the error "ssh: could not resolve hostname X: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution." The command nslookup X returns a valid IP address. I found the link below, and several others that reference the problem, but no solution. Is there a solution to this problem? http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2010-02/msg00230.html I do not have this problem with machines running XP either on VMs or natively. I've created a partial workaround in my .bashrc file that creates variables containing the IP addresses of the names I need to resolve. This solution doesn't work with svn working copies if the repository has a dynamic address because the IP address of the repository at checkout will be coded in the .svn/entries file. If the IP address of the svn server changes I'm won't be able to perform svn operations. -- 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
