ZoneAlarm shuts down my DSL connection

I'm using ZoneAlarm (free version), Verizon DSL and AlphaShield hardware firewall. ZoneAlarm has worked fine for years until I just installed DSL and AlphaShield. Now it's shutting down internet access and I haven't changed any settings in it at all. If I turn it off & reboot, connectivity is fine. If I start it up, access is terminated until I shut ZoneAlarm down. I pulled AlphaShield out of the chain and still had the problem.

I posted on the ZoneAlarm board and although 60 people had read my message (when I looked yesterday) no one responded.

Is there a software firewall that's better and will give me less trouble?
