I fixed the DNS issues by directly specifying a DNS server in the IPV4 settings for my network adapter in the Windows VM. I used Google's public DNS server (8.8.8.8) and it worked instantly. The cue to check out DNSSEC was a dead-end as the hostname was just an example. 90% of lookups failed, and the state of the net isn't that bad :-) -- regards Carl-Erik Kopseng -- 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
