Yeah, XP firewall is fine for normal everyday surfing. If you need something more, and prefer not to use Zone Alarm, maybe try get your hands on Norton Personal Firewall 2004 (http://www.symantec.com/sabu/nis/npf/)

ZoneAlarm is great and if you dont know how to use it it may appear like its doing something wrong.

You can just remove your network form ZoenAlarm's monotoring... Then it wont hassle your LAN... Ive had it for a week or two {Thanks to recommendation by Psycho} , and Im AMAZED at what it does...

Try Sygate - there's a free version.
