    This is a question for those of you with 'net access at home via a broadband connection. Do you use a firewall? Which one?

        I also am using ZoneLabs Zone Alarm. In addition to a Linksys router. From comments I think many have had problems with that brand name recently (I have had mine 18 months.) information week recently had a review: http://www.informationweek.com/story/IWK20020412S0009 Gibson Research also has some info that may be worth reading. Just found it. http://grc.com/lt/howtouse.htm To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a great step towards Knowledge. Benjamin Disraeli

          Same, I use zonealarm. But it really hardly ever ever ever does anything. Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

                I use Symantec's Personal Firewall. I haven't had any problems. It's easy to install and get set up. It is also aware of certain programs and allows easier configuration to allow those programs to get out. It also keeps a log of any attempted attack. Kelly Herald Software Developer Micronpc, LLC

                        Yep. It's the pro version. (As I understand it they don't have a free 3.x version yet, but soon will)

                          Have you tied giving the program permission to access the Web manually? It's been a year or so since I switched to the Pro version, but I think that function still exists in the free version. The Pro upgrade is definitely worth the tiny price, by the way. It let's track down and harrass offenders!

                              Linux (Mandrake 7.1) IPChains Handles my masquerading for the several computers on my network and does firewalling for all of them. I run ZoneAlarm on the desktops where I feel the need, I like the anti-spyware aspect of the desktop firewalls. Also in security circles this is called "Security In Depth", security at all levels that can handle it. That way if something gets through the Mandrake box it may be unpleasantly suprised that all of my machines are individually hardened and are running ZoneAlarm on top of that. Why? Because I could. :) I don't really have anything much to protect, just more of an exercise in technical skill. I have thought about going to fully encryped IP as a network protocol too, just for kicks. My name is Jason, and I am a geek. :laugh: Jason Jystad

                                yeah, i gave it all the permissions i could. but it looks like it's trying multiple ports with strange protocols or something. i'll get the pro version. - c

                                    My 2 cents here. That is what I had done until late last year when I downloaded ZoneLabs just to take a look for a friend. I promptly found a Trojan horse with it (DSSAgent). Mattel software installs it and that covers a fair amount of applications (genealogy, children’s, religious) ref: http://www.salon.com/tech/col/garf/2000/06/15/brodcast/index.html To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a great step towards Knowledge.

But with ZoneAlarm on the external interface, and the Win2K server configured as a router with NAT on the external ifc, it works quite nicely. Curiously, when I had to put firewalls (SonicWall) on the work system, I discovered the volume of attacks going on around here all the time! This is practically the end of the earth - why would anyone waste time messing with these poor saps?

                                          I also am using ZoneLabs Zone Alarm. In addition to a Linksys router. From comments I think many have had problems with that brand name recently (I have had mine 18 months.) information week recently had a review: http://www.informationweek.com/story/IWK20020412S0009 Gibson Research also has some info that may be worth reading. Just found it. http://grc.com/lt/howtouse.htm To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a great step towards Knowledge. Benjamin Disraeli
