Firewall...Windows Server 2003...

[Ash]

Could someone please reccomend a firewall to me that will work with Windows Server 2003, and one that works well??

I have been reading about the internet, and Norton Internet Security sounds prety good, I would like someone to comfirm this though because i know alot of you on here (LOMCN) Know alot about computer's and that.

I know windows 2k3 has a built in firewall, but i would like to also get another firewall (NOT Windows Build in Firewall :P )

Thanks.

It is very good but Norton products do use up about 100 meg ram (which to some people is a lot) although they do a very good job of protecting your system.

Or, you could try and download it , put it on a disc and wallah free windows and spend your money on something more exciting like, a dildo.

And is crap aswell.
The windows built in firewall does exactly the same as any other firewall would. Maybe the others have extra features like.. err e-mail scanning or whatever, maybe easier IP blocking...

IP blocking can be done using IPSec

Yes, the supplied windows connection firewall offers all a server owner could possibly need ^^.

Alternatively, try ZoneAlarm Pro.
