Re: Bash tries to connect to the internet


I don't know how to find out anything else about the address but I am told
it is a DNS server. According to this thread:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-03/msg00127.html from last year, Cygwin
is trying to get my hostname, and I want it to stop. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Joel
