Depending on your Windows version, your /etc/hosts should be a link to
either C:\WINDOWS\hosts or %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Edit
it and make sure that it contains "localhost". E.g., my /etc/hosts
contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost
This should allow a gethostbyname("localhost") without network access.
If this doesn't work, please review the Cygwin problem reporting
guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> and provide all the
requested information.
HTH,
Igor
