Bring up ZAP Control Panel. Click on "Security." Click on "Customize" on the Internet side. Put a tick mark in "Allow incoming ping(ICMP Echo)." Click on "Apply," "OK," and then close the program. This will allow you to be pingable without coming out of Stealth Mode entirely and can be used in Line Quality and Tweaks. Make sure you return to your previous settings when you do not need to be pingable.
Zone Alarm Pro, version 4:
Bring up ZAP Control Panel. Select "Firewall" on the left, then "Main" at the top. Click on the upper "Custom" button (Internet Zone Security). Put a tick mark in "Allow incoming ping (ICMP Echo)." Click on "Apply," "OK," and then close the program. This will allow you to be pingable without coming out of Stealth Mode entirely and can be used in Line Quality and Tweaks. Make sure you return to your previous settings when you do not need to be pingable.

Also try this:
Zone Alarm has two zones. Local Zone and Internet Zone. It is normal to set Local Zone security to medium or lower. You must then place our monitoring stations into the list of "local hosts". Please check this screenshot to see an example of the properties screen of Local Zone setup correctly to except our monitoring systems. Please note that the IP's in that screenshot are not the current IP's.
The machines that (currently) do the monitoring are
ny-monitor.dslreports.com
sjc-monitor.dslreports.com
dslreports-west2.speakeasy.net (64.81.79.40 AND 64.81.79.41)
These hosts should be be added to your firewall if ICMP ping is being blocked. The IP addresses do change from time to time, so if you must enter IP address and not DNS name, then please do an NSLOOKUP or PING to make sure of the current IP address.
Important: if you PADLOCK your zonealarm, no matter what, you are disconnected from the net. This will break monitoring. If you wish fulltime line monitoring, the PADLOCK function should not be used.
