firewall going bezerk.


Yo,

Cygwin is constantly performing DNS lookup's

My zone alarm firewall is going nuts.

I think cygwin even turned my firewall off... the true vector engine.

Anyway I decided to turn the firewall off completely...

Cygwin is not the only app going nuts with dns... also windows xp is going
nuts with DNS.

I think it is because the way cygwin and windows works... like a quake
game... everythin goes via network code...

So cygwin is like a server giving service or something... windows xp is also
like a server ? funny.

But I don't think it s funny... I hate it... I want my internet connection
to only access the net when it is really needed.

I rather have windows xp and cygwin not be like a server etc... and just use
dll's and other forms of inter process communication etc...

Those are my wishes :P :D

:)
