I have the zone alarm firewall, should I also activate
windowsXP's built in firewall or is it better to run just
one?

One firewall on a computer is best. Running two firewalls always creates the
possibility of conflicts. Install one, then get it working correctly. Review
its logs, and take action when necessary.
