I do not think it is the Zone Alarm.  I closed it and tried to connect and I was not able to.  I also do not think it is the router.  This morning, I disconnected the Ethernet cable (from modem) and connected it directly into the NIC. 
 
I am connected to a cable modem.  I route the internet connection between two computers.  I am using Win XP on one, Win98 on the other. 
 
I have fowarded the ports in the advanced section of the router's config menu. 
 
I am lost.  I do not know what is wrong.  If you are not able to figure out what is going on, do not worry about it.  Life goes on.  lol
