I used Zone Alarms firewall for a couple years. The parental controls will be per each computer, so your prefs won't effect the other person. On the setting for sharing internet, I don't know. I'd suggest trying it and seeing, since you'll know the answer in 10 seconds.

ZoneAlarm doesn't filter at the router level, but at the machine level so that shouldn't be a problem.
I would go with "not share", based only on the fact that you haven't supplied enough detail and I'm guessing.

The settings on your individual computers (lap tops if you are using a router) should not affect the other computer if you are simply sharing a router; which grabs signals out of the air and sends them to your computer. However, if your lap tops are networked that might be another story.

Unless your parental control operates at the router level.. then no.. your zone alarm will not effect him..

Software on your PC will not Affect the other computer, unless you are actually routing the connection through your computer, which you probably are not.
