xyz host doesn't respond to pings from any host.
Interesting.
My xp box with cygwin 1.7.1 can ssh to the host xyz.
I can ssh from my win7 and xp box with cygwin ssh to another box
(which is pingable)

Both of which have just been updated to the latest packages, so should
have the same versions of everything.

Thanks,
Bill
