Firewall

Personally, I have had good experience with the Sonicwall line of SOHO firewall products.
www.sonicwall.com

But if you want to go real cheap, then try ZoneAlarm. It is not designed to be used as a firewall to block an entire office, but you could set it up so it would work.

If all you want is a firewall on your server, check into BlackIce, Symantec, and Mcafee. I would think you might be better off visiting Multitech. Look at the RouteFinder for dial-ups.

willtake you directly too it. Visit www.CDW.com for a very good price on it and quick shipping.

With that, you'll have your whole network up in no time very protected at a very good price point. There are better solutions though... but with the infoprovided, that's what I'd suggest.

Hi,

I have just gone through the same thing (well getting a firewall), I looked for cheap Firewalls then bit the bullet and bought a Cisco PIX 501, it cost about UK?450.00, and it took some setting up (only becuase I had never done it before) butin real terms can you afford for anyone to get to your server(s), if they did would it cost you more than the price of a good firewall?

I'll bet it would.

We have and still use Proxy 2.0. We also have the CISCO routers and CISCO PIX 501 Firewall boxes. With CISCO products come a fair amount of configuration to get them to work but they are worth it. The PIX firewall was under $600. Proxy was under$1000. We also have Black Ice on our remote machines, $50.

We are happy with all of these products. A lot of people recommend the Sonic Wall line, but for the same money I'd buy CISCO any day.

Hello All:

I am so thankful for your help and really appreciate all the answers I got.
