Guest NBC Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Can anyone recommend a good firewall that I can install on an old P3? I want to convert this old PC into a hardware firewall. Someone told me about IP Cop, but I am not quite sure. Any ideas?

If you put a good software firewall package like Zone Alarm in this old PC, it's still a software firewall. Spend $20 and get a router. -- .___ (___ ____) teve steve@shattuck.net http://www.steve.shattuck.net
