I have not determined how to configure ZoneAlarm to let ALL programs use
DNS but nothing else. I will look into that some more though.
And yes, everything works fine if I deny the DNS access, so it isn't
really needed, I just can't wait for a program to ask before telling
ZoneAlarm whether it is okay or not.
I am becoming more suspecting that something in my winsock configuration
changed though, unless all applications changed to using gethostname
within the last 2 months (and it may have been less than that). Also, as
I said ipconfig asks for DNS access, something it never used to do, and
that isn't a cygwin program.
I just can't figure out what installing sshd (or whatever I did while
installinng sshd) made everything get hosed.
Thanks,
Geoff
