476048 2006-08-04 08:57:00 Zone Alarm or Kerio are two of the better free ones. I use Kerio as I found it easier to configure for my LAN. Works even after expiry except for little reiminder box: not a big hassle. gkar (5215)

In addition, there is an excellent handbook that I saved to a CD.

JimI think he was referring to Windows firewalls.
Incidentally, I don't use one (in linux) as I don't see the need

For the windows computers I administer, all use Outpost Pro

476052 2006-08-05 09:22:00 At home I don't use a firewall as I'm behind a NAT router (an old Dlink 802.11b). There is only one computer on the network, so am not worried about other machine bringing in nasties. If I do get another machine on the network (say a colleague is visiting), I'll just turn on PC-Cillin's 2006 firewall. chatoyer (2090)
