Is there is any Hardware firewall???

I need a firewall to protect my network from infected mails & block hackers. I don’t have any any firewall installed on the network. I am planning to install one. Can anyone suggest for Windows 2000 network.

A SOHO firewall I really like is the SonicWall line of hardware firewalls.

Good little firewalls.

If you do not have the money for a full featured hardware based firewall such as sonciwall or checkpoint, you can always put in a NAT firewall. Look into the linksys befsr41 (www.linksys.com)
This solution is much cheaper and is easy to implement.

I use both the SonicWall Pro and SOHO series. They are extremely easy to implement and manage, reliable (12 months, 0% downtime), and their price to feature ratio is hard to beat. Best IT investment I made this year. They have literally saved my company thousands of dollars in management costs and connection downtime.
