Anyone know what is going on here?

In a nutshell, after a reboot service X is only accessible through
zonealarm if it is restarted.

I have cygwin running as a service on an XP PC with zonelarm.

If I stop and stop the service I can use putty on another PC to ssh
tunnel in successfully.

If I do not have zonelarm running and reboot I can again connect using
putty.

But if I reboot with zonelarm running putty hangs ie it does not come
back with a login prompt. Yet zonealarm log shows that the incoming
connection (port 22) is allowed and cygwin (sshd.exe) is allowed
internet access. Now if I restart the service and try putty again it
works. So I have a script to manually start the service after a reboot
and this seems to be working, at least for the past couple of days.
But what is going on?

I tried removing zonealarms settings for the service and answered yes
when zonelarm popped up questions as to whether to allow access but
this made no difference.

Make sure that the cygwin service is set up with the zonealarm service as a
dependency. Else they might be started in the "wrong" order. See the -y
option to cygrunsrv.
