Example: wget github.com --2015-07-22 15:17:04-- http://github.com/ Resolving github.com (github.com)... failed: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution. wget: unable to resolve host address =E2=80=98github.com=E2=80=99 happens for SSH as well (I'm aware I probably can't ssh to github.com, but it doesn't fail there, it fails during name resolution) ssh github.com ssh: Could not resolve hostname github.com: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution however, I can get to github.com in the browser sitting next to the cygwin window just fine. ping (from windows, but inside cygwin) also works... ping github.com Pinging github.com [192.30.252.129] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.30.252.129: bytes=3D32 time=3D43ms TTL=3D128 Interestingly enough, google.com DOES resolve correctly. wget google.com --2015-07-22 15:23:27-- http://google.com/ Resolving google.com (google.com)... 74.125.224.110, 74.125.224.99, 74.125.224.103, ...

No hostname other than google.com that I've tried resolves at all unless it is defined in my Windows hosts file. I've searched google, the mailing lists, and the faq in vain. Any ideas?
