firewalls limit access to your PC. I don't know the technical details but they close your PC ports and filter incoming/outgoing traffic.
I have a router and ZA. I don't have any problems using KazaaLite and playing starcraft. Starcraft is the only game I've played with my PC so far since I have a crappy $25 vid card.
