Dylan, This is a coldfusion SERVER related issue. Don't get arsy with me. The original question was about Firewall Software (for a Win2000 server) this is on-topic for this list.
I do not have the option of a superior hardware solution which is why the subject matter was Firewall SOFTWARE. I did not want this topic going off on a discussion about hardware solutions which would not have been of any benefit to me, the person who originally asked the question. If you wish to spawn a discussion on hardware firewall solutions, please change the subject header to "Firewall Hardware (was Firewall Software)". Todd, Do you know if the McAfee Firewall isolated the machine (similar to the way Zone Alarm works) the first time it fired up and you then had to enable access to the machine? I am remotely administering the machine, so this type of isolation would mean a physical trip to the machine, which I really do not want to do.
