Is it ZoneAlarm Pro...

No, it's ZoneAlarm (the free version)

Well seeing you have 2 firewalls and it isn't wise to run 2 at the same time as they could clash and leave you more vulnerable...
I would uninstall ZoneAlarm and just use your IPcop, as you already know now that limewire won't work along side ZoneAlarm..

ipcop is the firewall for my network, my router. but if it realy doesn't run i might uninstall zonealarm again.

thanks!
