How do you safely debug a firewall issue? RS 12-08-2007

I'm having firewall issues, from around the time of the XP update
about three weeks ago.
Now I noticed that it's not allowing me to use the Winamp Media
Library. ZoneAlarm
didn't even ask, it seems it just blocked it. When I go to my Security
Center in Control
Panel, I see the Firewall as being on, I take that to mean that I've
now got back the
Windows Firewall (which I thought was off).

How do you safely start from a relative zero point to track down a
problem? If I turn
off the firewall in the Security Setting, am I only turning off the
Windows Firewall, or
am I turning off ZoneAlarm from that setting?
