Actually, I don't think this is off-topic. If you know of particular
firewalls that will cause problems for network utilities (even if it's not
restricted to Cygwin programs), I think having such a list in the archives
at least is useful. Obviously if the firewall only causes problems for
non-Cygwin programs, we don't really need to know/discuss that. ;-)

Sorry for the off-topic post, but I just want to mention that some
firewall programs replace the standard networking DLLs with their own,
thus creating problems even if they are not run. Just my 2c.
