Local Firewall for an NT baased network

January 24th, 2001, 10:43 AM

What should we do, we recently lost our DSL connection and now that we are switching providers the new provider doesn't have a firewall, but it is required for the service. Therefore, we have to have a firewall on our server. What do we do to get that...from what I understand it is entirely software...HELP!!!

if you already have the hub/switch then just get the single port linksys from www.egghead.com for 89 bucks, i think that is after rebate, i just bought the 4 port one for at home. very nice, has port forwarding and dmz in one tiny light little package.
