About the best firewall for a Windows machine is to sit it behind a properly firewalled and configured Linux gateway!

You could try the built in Windows Firewall with XP - which has been "enhanced" in SP2.

But you know microsoft, they'll release a firewall patch next month, and then a patch to the firewall patch, and then a patch for the patched firewall patch, etc, etc.

cheers

Try this

http://smb.sygate.com/download_buy.htm

There is a free version to download.


Also you can try the below list of software.

602LAN Suite 2004.0.04.0723
Enigma Firewall 1.1


I don't see anything wrong with Zone alarm though. it's free it's does the job.

Anyway hope one of those help.

Have tried the firewall from System Suite? I don't know if it was free, due to the fact that a friend of mine hangs out at Wal-Mart and is a accomplished shoplifter, but it will keep everything out.
