   ZoneAlarm Plus and ZoneAlarm Pro fully support Internet Connection
   Sharing (ICS). ZoneAlarm does not fully support ICS.

From
http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/support/znalmGeneralFAQ.jsp :

   1. What are the major differences between ZoneAlarm and
       ZoneAlarm Pro?

   ZoneAlarm Pro keeps all of the great features of ZoneAlarm but
   adds more control and features including:

    ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) capability: Allows configuration
   of an ICS network with features to turn ICS on or off and to
   auto-detect routing and ICS.

So, it appears that the free version of ZoneAlarm is incompatible with
ICS on the host computer. Perhaps someone else knows a way to
overcome the problem.

If you can't use ZoneAlarm, un-install it and either:

1. Install an ICS-compatible firewall, or:

2. Enable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on the shared
Internet connection.
