[h-e-w] Info not working when emacs started from Cygwin shell

[h-e-w] Info not working when emacs started from Cygwin shell |

Hello,
I am using NT Emacs in collaboration with the Cygwin tools. In particular,
I start Emacs from the Cygwin bash shell, with
$ emacs &
However, if I try to get help from within Emacs, using "info" for instance
"C-h i", Emacs tries to access a server using FTP. This is the contents of
the "Messages" buffer when trying the above command:
Loading info...
Loading easymenu...done
Loading tool-bar...done
Loading info...done
Password for address@hidden:
Then I cancel the operation with "C-g" and get in the "Messages window":
ange-ftp-get-passwd: Quit
I do not have the same problem when I start Emacs "the Windows way" (Start
> Programs > GNU Emacs > Emacs): "info" works fine.
The problem is not related to my ".emacs" file, because it also occurs when
it does not exist.
I have the problem with versions 20.7 and 21.1.
Many thanks for your help, if possible !
