Sometimes just using the alert tab isn't enough for reason I don't fathom.

Go into Zone Alarm's Program Control tab, use Add to add the Steam
executable, click on the tics for Access - Trusted and Internet, click Allow
for both to get a green checkmark, exit ZA and restart it.

Hey thanks!!!! It just so happened that I figured out as you described
before reading your message, and it's fine now.

I appreciate your help.

BTW, I think ZA is great. I bought the full Sec. Suite version.
