www.netscreen.com has a similar "scan me" utility on their web page which
is
not as busy as Gibson's. It also prints out it's results to a single page,
which is a nice feature. I too use Black Ice on both a portable and some
client machines. It is more compatible with other products I use than Zone
Alarm. Others prefer Zone Alarm because it is more granular and denies
both
incoming and outgoing traffic until told to permit...a disadvantage in some
cases that invites it being shut off (1). Are they firewalls? Not!

:-)I use Black Ice on the laptop. McAfee has one, as does Gibson Research

:-)
:-)I am currently researching "personal" firewalls. In other
:-)words, software,
:-)or
:-)inexpensive hardware, that can be used to protect a single computer
while
:-)it
:-)is
:-)connected to the internet (via DSL, modem, cable modem, etc.) or to a
:-)competitor's network.
:-)
:-)Some requirements are that it support Windows 9x and Windows NT 4.0, and
:-)eventually have support for Windows 2000. Also, it should be compatible
:-)with
:-)most VPN clients.
:-)
:-)Do any of you have any recommendations of products that have
:-)impressed you?
:-)Or,
:-)can you point me to a recent list of these types of firewalls?
:-)
:-)Any help would be greatly appreciated!
:-)
:-)Brant
