I'm not, but I can't tell ZoneAlarm to allow all programs to acces DNS, but to prompt me for any other access). I am tryng to prevent programs on my system, that I (or my family) install from sending data out without my knowledge. I have no problem with them asking fro DNS access, but I can't seem to tell ZoneAlarm that DNS is okay, and not anything else. (Actually, ZoneAlarm can allow outgoig DNS access automatically, but I can't enable that without disabling the per-program control I currently use, or at least I haven't figure outhow yet). .Geoff -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
