I don't use ZA but as far as I'm aware the free version does not permit ICS.
They do have to persuade people to get the paid version somehow you know,
but that doesn't mean I recommend ZA pro.
Get yourself an external box designed to share your internet connection and
forget about ZA.

If that makes your (or anyone else) think "how do I stop things going out"
then there are a few things you can do.
You could get a suitable external box that allows you to control who you can
connect to.
You could stop installing software that connects to things you don't want it
to connect to.
You could learn to find out what is actually in your computer by using this
site
http://www.hijackthis.de/
That site on its own will do far more for the security of a Windows PC
(behind NAT or better) than any personal software firewall will, but it does
take a bit of experience to decide whether items listed as unknown should be
removed or not.
