Hey Paul,
I must ask why your admin would make such a crazy suggestion? Has he/she
thought of the fact that if you machine is left alone in la la land and is
compromised, the whole network is at risk? Windows98 is not your typically
secure OS and the firewalls available would be a piece of cake to break for
anyone with skills.
Are ICQ, RealAudio and Web Cams really that important to you daily work
schedule, or just a novelty?
Just my 2cents...

Hi,
The administrator of the network at my office can't grant my wishes to use
icq, realaudio etc because this whould weaken his firewall.
He would put me IN FRONT of the firewall so that I have to maintain my own
security on my system.
I have a Windows98 system.
What (free) software should I use to to create a "local" firewall on my
computer so that my system is secure (as good as possible), and I'll be able
to use icq, realaudio and my web-cam.
Thanks,
Paul Koch
