Although I run Cygwin, I've never tried to implement distcc in that
environment.  I do have it running on Gentoo, though.  Is there a
Cygwin equivilant of distcc-config?  If you run that with --get-hosts,
what do you see?  Also, if you enable debug logging in distcc, do you
see any messages such as 'unable to distribute to xxxhost'?  Do you
see any logs appear on the machine the compilation is supposed to be
happening on?  It sounds like we need to dig into the logs a bit.
