Lately my network has been swamped!! Cut off our internet connection. Then
after probing our network it turns out some computers had TONS of CMD.exe and
PING.exe running!!! These boxes were PINGing like crazy killing the network.
Has anyone encountered this or can point me to how we got it and
Very clever question you got there..too bad only programmers will know that
this can be a real query and not someone being a jerk. hehehe.
Sorry I am not in sales so I wouldnt know prices of the various firewall
products.
Hopefully someone can help ya out...

Not too much experience with the other firewalls but I would like to add a
couple things about the Netscreen5.
The NS-5's processor is built on Netscreens first ASIC technology unless that
changed in the last month or so. Their NS-100 and 1000 are the only devices
that use their second
Well I dont know too much about the other products but you can get the Netscreen-10.
It will cover the amount of users you need. Dont forget though, its more important
that you look at how many sessions these products can handle rather than users.
Any user can take 10-100's of sessions
Uhh dont you just right click it in the taskbar and go to Disable?

In my opinion the Secure Remote is CRAP.
I have had a lot of hell with it not to mention that it only supports a number
of NIC cards. And yes I have had that problem too.
1) You can uninstall the client which doesnt sound too much like a solution.
2) You can disable the client before you restart,
I personally am not aware of any other clients for the Pix VPN other than
SafeNet Client. The SafeNet itself is nto very safe in my opinion it has many
bugs.
What other "PC Client" are there??

Are you serious?
Of course you want to block everything incoming. Why open yourself up and
then close down. Its like building a house from the top down.
You can't possibly know all protocols and ports if you by default open
everything and expect to close things down when you get the chance.

Do you have a dedicated link between your local network and the servers?
Do your servers fall into the same network scheme as your local network?
It seems like the servers are just sitting in another location with no
relation to the network so if thats the case a firewall between the servers
Well some people may not agree with me on this but a HARDWARE firewall is
always better than software based.
Because hardware does most of the work, they are typically faster and more
efficient and less prone to break-through's.
I have always thought of software based firewall's
Way to go Nigel,
That's how I separate the 2 species. A special hardware that comes
preconfigured to be a firewall doesn't necessary mean it's not a good
firewall.
Let's go back to Netscreen for example. Ok, it has a GUI interface for the
end-user. But you know what, a firewall should never be
There are way too many things you can talk about that separate these 2
products.
Can you be more specific in how you would use them? What i mean by that is,
Netscreen can be a Packetshaper, VPN and Firewall.
NS-100 is obviously easier to setup and not as robust as the Cisco PIX.

Ok, all you guys need to relax. Let's have some fun here alright? I have
enough stress at work. I personally am not going to say that Cisco is better
just because there is a Cisco label. I go with what works and what amount of
time it takes to set it up.
I would give the Netscreen 100, 100
Hello all,
I have just joined the list and I see that FW1 is the most recent convo. I
have little experience with FW1 but a lot of experience with Netscreen
products. So if anyone has any questions about Netscreen, please feel free to
ask I will try to help. I am also learning Cisco PIX and do
I suppose it depends on what your needs are. I have a big problem with using
an OS to build a firewall with. Why? Because it is not a REAL-TIME running OS
like that of Netscreen and Cisco PIX. Too many side effects and you need to
harden the system also.
Are you using NT as the platform?
