What part of the registry would modify? Win2k does contain a rudimental (host based) firewall to a certain extent (through the use of port filtering, ipsec, etc), though few security minded folks would recommend this as a centralized network solution. You can get a solid dedicated appliance for little investment these days. MS ISA is available at around $700 (i think) though it's very young - i wouldn't use this until it has been fully benchmarked against other SOLID app layer proxies like raptor/symantec, gauntlet or Checkpoint. A better OS security record for MS would help too and we hope this is coming. What size network are you trying to secure?
i'll add that part of Netscreen's value prop is that you can deploy and manage large, complex infrastructure relatively easily. I'm talking global SCALABILITY! Owww yeah, and numerous independent benchmarks over the past couple years have found its vpn performance to be among the best in the industry. check out www.netscreen.com. I think the provided management tools become incredibly valuable as the architecture grows in complexity. Again, ask what size network are you trying to secure? Netscreen can offer you a incredibly robust solutions from $500 to upwards of $150,000+.
