Hi Glenn,

The issue is with the way your user name is handled by CYGWIN as per
question 3 in one of my previous emails. Since it contains a space, CYGWIN
gets confused.

The solution is to make a change in a configuration file and rename your
user directory. I had to do that for Daniel's VK2FWW-1 server.

Give me a few hours and I will have the procedure on the wiki (I will
update the "server under Windows" page.

73,

John
