If the XP firewall is also running I would expect it to cause problems with ZA. If the version of ZA is 5, then it needs to be removed and replaced with a version that, er, works
I'm on version 4, though I believe there's a version 6. I'm avoiding it like the plague though. Reinstalling ZA is a bit drastic - a simple bit of tweaking of the firewall will be enough, but first turn it off and see if the connection works with it off.
