Local networking

I have 3 PCs and one wireless router on a broadband connection. The PC with mysql is running zone alarm. and is connected wirelessly to the network. I want to only use mysql on the local network and allow access from the other PCs, but when I start mysql zonealarm asks if I want to allow mysql to connect to an IP address that belongs to my ISP in the internet zone. If I click on no mysql doesn't start.

I don't want mysql to connect to the internet zone as I have installed it purely for tutorial purposes. I'm also concerned with the security issues related to opening the server to the internet. Any ideas on how to configure just for the local network would be greatly appreciated. If this is too complex at least could someone point me in the right direction for the information I need?
