problem with cygwin

hi...
i'm working on windows xp currently but i have to work on linux.
the problem is there is no internet in linux OS so i decided to use cygwin which (i was told) can be used for unix based commands to an extent in windows.i have to write c-programs and i'm using emacs as editor and g++ compiler.some commands like "ps -eo pid" are not working in cygwin when given "ps" it shows only two processes(bash,ps).why doesnt it show the processes of windows? i cant use putty or any other similar thing.

1)is there any way to overcome that problem?

2)and another doubt..when i compile using g++ ...it shows no error
but when i do that same with gcc it shows errors..why is that?

thanks a lot in advance
