How can I make my firewall allow me to connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi with my USB connector?

usb connector

I recently bought a Nintendo USB Wi-Fi connector to use with my Wii, but when I try a connection test on my Wii, it comes up with an error message

"Error code: 51340. Unable to connect to the internet. Choose Internet settings and then confirm your selection".

I use the Zone Alarm Firewall and have allowed the Wi-Fi program that installed with the connector to access the net. When I turn off the firewall, it works perfectly! Obviously, this isn’t ideal, using the internet without a firewall is just plain silly. What do I need to do to my firewall to let my the program connect? Please help!
(In response to question below)

The Windows firewall is turned off (it’s rubbish anyway) but thanks.

    It’s just a thought, but is it the windows firewall thats blocking it? That comes with the computer doesnt it? Go to start, control panel, security center, windows firewall, then click on exceptions.

    Or on your internet connection in "Network connections", click on properties and then under the tab "Advanced", tick boxes under internet sharing.

    this worked for my friend
