why is bash trying to access my DNS?

[Ayamico Hamasaki]

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.
