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.
