Did you install CYGWIN in your system environment? You must
set it in your system environment! If you set it in your user
environment, no cygwin process started via inetd service can
see it and if you set it in some file (eg. .profile or /etc/profile)
it's too late for initializing purposes. That may be a reason for
some of the other problems below.

Are you sure that your W2K has a `localhost' entry in
${SYSTEMROOT}/system32/drivers/etc/hosts?

Hope, that helps,
