That could work out to be pretty cost-effective and certainly easy to install and configure. For additional security, combine the personal firewalls with access-control lists (ACLs) on the router or the Context-Based Access Control (CBAC) firewall feature set for the router. Elijah's BSD firewall looks like a good option too, especially considering it's an intrusion detection system (IDS) too. If the customer knows some UNIX and doesn't have money to spend, this would be a great choice. And James, please give your friend a bit of a talking to. ;-) Not using firewalls in this day and age is shockingly unwise. Please have him check all the computers for worms or Trojan horses that are busy attacking the rest of us. Thanks.
