I am right with you on Sonicwall, will never go there again, EVAR! ----- Original Message ----- From: Erik Goldoff To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 7:32 PM Subject: RE: Firewall Recommendations
ok ... when I think FULL BLOWN ROUTER, I think Cisco with WIC slots, etc .... Cisco ASA would work well for you, as would Fortigate, Juniper ... a few in the sub $500 range ... I too won't touch SonicWall again, regardless of recent reports that they 'fixed' support Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 7:21 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Firewall Recommendations via Ethernet drop.

Will your ISP provide you with ethernet ( or PPPoE ) or will you need a T1 WIC for T1/Frame Relay ? When you say "full blown Router" you need to specify the type of WAN circuit you'll be using to get accurate advice Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 5:05 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Firewall Recommendations Alright, this is continuation of my previous post regarding a Site to Site VPN endpoint, but it turns out I will need a full blown Router/Firewall. (The new ISP is no longer will be providing me with one...) I little info: This is for a very small office I prefer simple setup; GUI preferred. I am not an networking expert; most of our firewall management is performed by a solutions provider. Only about 4 NATs, 20 users, VPN needed SonicWall is sore spot for me. I know many of you will recommend it... I have used a TZ170 a few years ago. The support was horrendous and they could not figure out why all the users where constantly disconnecting from VPN. The VPN Client Software was terrible as well. I trashed it after 2 weeks.
