Re: whats the best firewall?
Look and stop is light. wouldnt really recommmend zonealarm even though i have it (its about average to high).
You could try a router and a program like net limiter ( which mointors all incomming and outgoings, all of which you can control and even limit how much bandwith is used). Its alot easier to keep track then zonealarm.

Good point . I was wondering what the definition of a good firewall was . Limit "every thing " from connecting or just the programs I pick ? I'v used programs that locked me down tighter than a nun's T'unc ,at what cost tho ?
Remember zapjb when we all sang the praises of look N stop and we could n't connect thru MSN .

Yup. But it was trouble with Yahoo here.
But ah the joys of Linux. I'm using Firestarter - a GUI for iptables. Sweet.
Re: whats the best firewall?
I'd vote for ZoneAlarm too.
Re: whats the best firewall?
I think "Outpost Firewall".
Re: whats the best firewall?
agree with BLACKBIRD - ZoneAlarm Pro 2007 is the best (no 1 rated firewall) to use and it's doesn't take up resources ! if you can afford it and are rich you could get a hard-wired firewall from CISCO systems !

Shut up shut up ! I have my fingers in my ears . :D Wish it was that easy friend , does it work with Utorrent , can I play games or D/L movies ?
I know I can surf the net safely and my computer boots in 20 seconds again but at what cost ? I'm going to be a fringe player lamenting the fact ..... there's no good programs ? Just wondering not trying to break your balls . :)
Re: whats the best firewall?
For XP a recommend probably the best firewall Outpost..never have any problem with him...Zone alarm is pure crap IMO.
