Make sure you have the symbolic links "hosts", "networks", "services", and
(especially) "protocols" (those symlinks should have been created
automatically when you installed Cygwin).  Post the output of "ls -l
/etc/{hosts,networks,services,protocols}".  /etc/protocols should contain
the following line:

tcp      6     TCP      # Transmission control protocol

If that is not your problem, please read and follow
