You won't get a prompt unless you have things set to ask instead of block.
If you think block is always correct, make the setting so. But if there may
be time when it's not appropriate, set it to ask. Do some exploring of the
settings available in Zone Alarm. Don't just accept the defaults.
When you ran the Doxpara test, what IP address did it report? For me, it

True, but sometimes the Mac's have stuff I don't particularly

The one thing that lead you astray was [when I compare the cheapest Mac
to the cheapest HP] - you are allowing HP to set the standard for
cheapest components.
