I have a problem with Zone Alarm.

Whenever I now (this is very recent, since the first of the year) boot
up my Windows XP Home SP1 computed Zone Alarm always asks for me to
authorize a connection to the internet using the SAME IP address.
Furthermore, when I look at the settings Zone Alarm is always set to
"ask" instead of "allow" the ip address. The settings are always reset
when I shut down the system. Also, my settings for Firefox are also
reset to "ask" from "allow". Any ideas what is causing this and how it
can be corrected?

I've tried everything including the "trusted zone" setting even though
I am not on a LAN.

A circle is round. Ice is cold. And you have a problem with Zone Alarm.

Do you like pleonasms? ;-)

P.S.: There is an easy solution: just kick Zone Alarm.

ZA is causing this.

It can be corrected by getting rid of ZA (if possible).

Yes. That's your problem. You're experimenting with a crappy
"security" solution within an area you don't understand.
