1.5.18: ping 1.01 error message 'recvfrom: Invalid argument'


Hi,

when I try to run ping I get screens full of the same error message
"ping: recvfrom: Invalid argument"
Find a shortened output below and the cygcheck output attached.
I'm using cygwin 1.5.18 on WinXP SP2, ping package version is 1.01 .

My suspicion: My user is not a local admin - do I have to be one for ping?

Thanks a lot,
Marco
