After I have upgraded my zone alarm, I see this problem. Whenever I start a bash shell, the zone alarm pops up an alert to say bash.exe is trying access the DNS. This happens to commands like hostname, uname.
I guessed this is not a Cygwin problem. The same thing happens to windows native commands such as netstat, ipconfig, ping. If I downgrade my older version of zone alarm, the pop up alerts do not appear. I do not have problem letting this programs to access the DNS, the only hassle is I have to set the access to a number of these programs.
