Cygwin Installation Diagrams
Download cygwin setup and run
Disable Virus Scanner
Choose download method
Accept default installation options
Choose a local Package Installation directory in my case I created the directory cygwininstall.
Select connection type.

Select Packages on my first install of ns2 I received errors stopping me from a full install. It was due to missing packages in the cygwin install.
Ensure the following packages are installed
Development | Documentation optional | Editors Optional | Interpreters | Text | Utils | Xfree86 |
Gcc c,c++, fortran compiler | Cygwin-doc | VIM | Gawk | Patchutils | Patchutils | Xfree86 bin |

Download will now run
Once completed select if you want a desktop and start menu icon and restart. You are now ready to install Ns2
