I've been playing with the Comodo Firewall
http://www.comodo.com/ It gets very good reviews.
I finally dumped Zone Alarm because it basically stopped working.
Or is Windows XP's built-in firewall enough when out in public?
That makes two of us - actually three, as I just talked a friend through removing ZA from their laptop which that software brought to its knees. I got so sick and tired of scanningprocess.exe chewing up my CPU, I removed the entire package tonight and installed Comodo+AVAST for a free, low resource intensive firewall/antivirus combo.
Comodo seems to be stable, nicely designed and works without chewing up my resources; I'm happy so far.
