Hi there,
I am looking for a firewall to protect our network. We have 4 servers and 45 clients. I'll be hosting a web site and also some employees will be accessing data from home.
What firewall you guys can recommend? Something not very expensive but effecient.
Thank you very much for your help!

You can get a cisco pix 3005 for about $3,000 or so but configuring it may be tough if you have never worked with the cisco IOS.

Hi there,
I appreciate your help. I found a Cisco PIX 501 in our store room. I don't know how powerfull it is compare to the 3005. I would appreciate some advice on this Cisco PIX 501.
Thank you so much again!

The 501 comes licensed for either 10 or 50 current connections. i believe the 3005 starts at 100. They run the same IOS so they should have the same features, exept I am not sure if thier VPN connections are the same. If you have less than 50 connections inbound and outbound the 501 should be fine.
