Setup.exe fails to access mirrors

Thu Aug 14 15:55:00 GMT 2003

Hi
I can access the site list of mirrors fine on Mozilla.
Here's the contents of the log file:
2003年08月14日 16:25:46 Starting cygwin install, version 2.340.2.5
2003年08月14日 16:25:46 Current Directory: C:\Documents and Settings\Nat\Desktop
2003年08月14日 16:25:46 Changing gid to Users
2003年08月14日 16:25:46 Could not open service McShield for query, start and 
stop. McAfee may not be installed, or we don't have access.
2003年08月14日 16:25:47 source: network install
2003年08月14日 16:26:00 root: C:\cygwin text system
2003年08月14日 16:26:08 Selected local directory: C:\cygwin\download
2003年08月14日 16:26:10 net: Direct
2003年08月14日 16:26:17 net: IE5
2003年08月14日 16:26:19 Ending cygwin install
I'm not sure what the line about McAfee is all about. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help on this
