Agreed, I use it when I'm stuck using a corporate mandated windoze laptop or servers for win-only apps. I've found it quite helpful in that circumstance, even to the point I'd keep it on a default win server image I deploy out via template. That was about the time I switched to linux full-time and never looked back.

I personally support Cygwin and (to a point) like it, but I don't ever
use it unless I have NO OTHER POSSIBLE OPTION whatsoever...
For example, for some reason my Linux box quit connecting to my daytime
job VPN and I installed a SSH server using Cygwin so I can create a
reverse tunnel and access the AIX server and Linux boxes I actually do
stuff with.

Cygwin won't give you ifconfig or ip tools (didn't years back at
least), it'll still be "ipconfig /all"
Look at the subnet mask there, should be 255.255.255.0. If they're all
on the same switch/router, than they're in the same subnet.
Can they ping each other's addresses? layer 3 is good
Telnet to each other on port 445 "telnet 192.168.0.x 445" layer 4 is good
From windoze, "start->run-> type "\\192.168.0.x\" and see if you can
see shares. Try more specifically if you know the share name.
If you want to test from linux back install smbfs packages
(specifically for cifs) and mount as:
mkdir /tmp/cifs
mount -t cifs -o defaults,username=myuser //192.168.0.x/share_name
/tmp/cifs
Layer 5 and up should be good if you can do the last, otherwise figure
out where in between the problem lies. Try in both directions too.
It's more than likely with samba config, not the network. Though I'm
not at all sure what that 5.5.6.1 address was you were looking at...

well, I figured I would d/l something so if you tell me how to do
something in *nix I wouldn't have to ask you how to do it in windows. So
I googled it and found 'cygwin'. so I install it and the first command I
type in I am DENIED! File not found it says. So what is the best unix
emulator for windows? 'ip addr show' is the command that wasn't found.
