Maybe a little off the wall but can you connect modem to modem with something like PC Anywhere? Not sure how ZA or other packages work against Modem connections but it might be a possibility. This might allow you to install and configure ZA or something else. I remember the old days of having to drop PCAnywhere into the startup, with auto answer set to on, so that I could reboot the server as needed and still connect to it. Those were the days ;-)

This would only require 3389 be open (and 80 presumably). This might be a very good solution in conjunction with port filtering. Allow only 80 and 3389 deny everything else. If someone is going to hack you it will be via brute forcing the password to log in via ts, or an application bug. This solution is cheap and effective.

Of the firewall software solutions ive seen they all lock the machine down then on a per connection basis ask whether you wish to allow the connection, The Kerio personal firewall you mentioned earlier does the same, on startup it will start asking whether to allow the connection. I supose what you could do is install a copy locally and create a rule that would allow your IP as a trusted zone, then workout where it stores this information and see if you can extract and add it the live server so that when the server has finished rebooting it already has the information about your IP and so allows the connection... This tho will probably not work, just a thought. Best solution would be to get access to the machine for the install HTH -----Original Message----- From: Adam Reynolds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 16:23 To: CF-Server Subject: RE: Firewall Software 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.
