I have ZoneAlarm 6.5.737.000 installed and several different Oracle software (EMGC, DB10gR1, DB92, DevSuite 9.0.4 but not XE though) installed on XP and don't have any problems.

Compared to my version of ZonaAlarm you seem to have an older version as I believe I recall that the privacy settings you refer to were there in earlier versions but
are now different in the version I refer to.

As far as I remember I had to switch off the XP firewall. Check Control Panel Security Center.

Hope at least to be of some help.
