You're welcome, Lauralea. Yes, I've heard that you have to specially
configure ZoneAlarm to work with ICS. How did you do it? Do you have
the free version or the paid version?
I'm using Zone Alarm Pro. I don't know if the ICS option is available in the
free version. I followed the walkthrough at:
http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/board/message?board.id=access&message.id=23158#M23158
There is also a simple walktrhough at:

The basic steps provided by BillCherryAtl (a Zone Alarm guru):
Fist, see if you get ICS working properly with ZAP disabled on both
machines. Then here is a guideline that might help.
On the gateway machine, do the following.
Click start -> run, type cmd and click ok.
Type ipconfig /all and press enter.
Find the connection you are using, and make note of all the DNS servers.
Type exit and press enter.
Double-click the ZA icon down by the clock.
Click firewall -> main, and click the advanced button.
Put the check in "this computer is an ICS/NAT gateway"?, and click ok.
Click firewall -> zones.
Add each DNS server to the trusted zone. To do this, do the following.
Click the add button, and then click IP address.
Click trusted, put in the IP address, enter a description, and click ok.
When finished adding all addresses, click the apply button.
Next, click program control -> programs. Locate Generic Host Processing.
Under the server column, for trusted, change that to a check.
Don't change server internet to a check, just server trusted.
If you have ZoneAlarm on the other computers, do the following.
Click the ZA icon down by the clock.
Click firewall -> main, and click the advanced button.
Put the check in "this computer is a client of an ICS/NAT gateway"?, and
click ok.
