Yah, don't use Zone Alarm, lol :)

If you're willing to give up a machine for the purpose, a standalone un*x
based firewall is a lot stronger and easier to configure for a network than
something evil like Zone Alarm.

You could always try SmoothWall :)

Commercial version -> http://www.smoothwall.co.uk/  - tis cheap!
GPL version -> http://smoothwall.org/
