    What is your favorite firewall for Win32? I prefer Sygate Personal Firewall, Even though they dont offer it anymore on their site. I think they still offer it on Downloads.com though.

    If they dont, I have the full setup if anyone would like it, just PM me.

    But Basically I have a Router to handle incoming traffic and I just have the Sygate Software firewall for Outgoing Connections, although it does handle incoming as well but the router handles that so it just hands it off.

    For Slackware, IP tables, Drop everything please 8)

    I've only worked with a few software firewalls, Sysgate, Norton (sucks), ZoneAlarm and Blackice.

    My router acts as the firewall. But, once I get my new switch, my Win2k box will be the router.

    Cool, I'll try that on my Linux box when I get it up an running again. Right now, I'm going to try to pu Windows 3.1 on it to see how it runs.
