Best Firewall Application - Suite

[jts]

We have network of 15 PCs. I am in search of some nice freeware firewall for this network.Anyone can please suggest me ?Operating system is Windows 2003 Server and Cable Internet connection of 256 Kbps is there.Please help me out.

zonealarm, kerio are the two recommended ones. not sure if they support the server editions. maybe you can just setup a decent firewall on the server that manages all the computers.

I too am interested in finding a firewall... Zonealarm has been giving me a lot of problem lately. I am not sure whether it is a conflict with Task Scheduler or what, but the True Vector Service keeps f***ing up, and I have to restart my system. Lately also it sometimes blocks the internet randomly. So is there any other secure alternative (for free that is)?

Thanks for reply, but Zonealarm does not support server edition. Any other suggestion?please

uh? I was not recommending ZoneAlarm... I was complaining about it. Anyway, I've moved to Comodo Firewall, which is working very well for me. Not sure if it supports server edition, but you can find that out.

Best firewall is the one provided in router!! However you are using cable net provider so better ask them.

Try Bit defender's own firewall. it is a complete package... and work really well. Bit Defender is right now No.1 Antivirus, and their FW is one of the best. if you are paranoid, use BlackICE. it has intrusion detection system too. Hacking attempts will be thawed ... u will be safe.-pranKster.
