ZoneAlarm is still around and seems to be pretty decent, seem to use less resources than a few versions ago. I use it on the office computers and only allow trusted access to/from the domain/file server, AV-server, and backup server. I tunnel through the domain server for remote access.
ZA allows you to identify trusted host by hostname or ip. If a machine is trusted I use VNC to get access to the machine. I haven't tried RDC since we only have a handful of XP machines at this point. It is much easier to set up than the built in MS firewall.
