No one was suggesting you were.  Nor were we suggesting that you don't know
how to configure a firewall.  The point was simply that if some firewall(s)
didn't work as you expect, then that's either a firewall configuration issue
or a firewall bug.  Either way, it's not a Cygwin issue and, as a result, is
off-topic for this list.  Sounds to me like you're following the proper path
by contacting ZoneLabs with this issue.  It seems to me that your diligence
in researching this problem should be a benefit to them.
