CTW Members Ginge Posted August 14, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted August 14, 2003 Zonealarm is what I got. Its DAMN good...my brother uses it aswell and he is a computer genius...he built my PC and HIGHLY recommends zonealarm. You get a free 30 day home trial then its 1 payment of £24.99 I think.

CTW Members Bukey Posted August 14, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted August 14, 2003 Yup... A nice Watchguard Firebox Vclass solution.... http://www.watchguard.com/products/vclass.asp Oh, you mean a personal firewall? If you're on broadband, grab a router/gateway from the likes of Linksys - you'll have a hardware solution (which is by definition better than a software solution*. It will also, if setup correctly, protect at the place immediately after your broadband router (modem). * NB, this obviously depends on the funcionality available from solutions you choose to compare!

Zonealarm? Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole!!!! But that is prolly more of a personal-strange-whim that techies are prone to... A hardware solution would be much better in any case... Maria - I meant to say, if you're on dial-up instead of BB, grab an old 486, connect your modem to that, and use FREEsco. On a write-protected floppy, this is the next-best thing to a hardware solution...

CTW Members Bukey Posted August 14, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted August 14, 2003 Linksys are very big in the SOHO and home networking markets in their own right. I have a wireless BB router/gateway with built in firewall... Fooking great asset... Whole network protected with a hardware solution. Only cost about £45 too...

CTW Moderators Maria Posted August 14, 2003 Author CTW Moderators Share Posted August 14, 2003 That's not bad dude Iv decided, another thing im guna learn of my own back is home networking. Been in training the last 3 days in work as im "moving over to broadband". But I aint. Well, I may have to untill I find myself another job ASAP. But anyway, been learning [censored] loads about the wireless network, home networking, routers, configuration of DHCP, IP's, TFTP and loads more - took 2 exams today and i fecking passed aswell Was shown how wireless networking works today - it's like an ariel plugged into the CPU - didnt know it was as simple as that !
