bid1 Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Try OutPost Firewall. The best I found so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchivers Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 The built in firewall is far from stupid. It's main purpose is to block incoming traffic followed by the ability to port forward etc... Routing and remote access gives you more control by use of IP packet filters etc... Then you have the firewalls you all keep talking about that control incoming and outgoing traffic via Application filters etc... I personally use ISA Server 2000 because it gives me a vast amount of control for my entire LAN. The reality is it ALL depends on what you want to stop because firewalls can work at different levels of the OSI model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted April 29, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 29, 2003 i would NEVER use zone alarm on a server. it's meant for stupid at-home users who need to feel protected from the evil h4x0r world. it's NOT meant for a corporate firewall.

Jason Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 I would have to recommend a hardware based firewall for a Server OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Jason,For example?? :fro: Well I Cannot tell you which Hardware firewall to get other than a hardware one is better than software based. You need to define your requirements and read some reviews to get an idea of what meets your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMan Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Kerio Winroute Firewall works as of build 5.0.3. I had some discussions with Kerio when I installed it on build 3771 of W2K3 Ent Server and the problems were simply because MS hadn't released the final set of development tools. I have it running on a test server and its fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorbing Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 ZoneAlarm Pro release 3.7.159. ITs Compatible with 2k3 server it works great!! This is a direct quote from Zone Labs page: "System requirements: IBM PC or 100% compatible, Pentium processor 233 MHz (450 MHz or higher recommended), Microsoft? Windows? 98/Me/NT/2000 and XP, 32 MB RAM (64 MB or higher recommended), 10 MB Hard disk space." Where do you see that it is compatible with Windows 2003 Server?

Scorbing Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 My advise is simple: Until we are all sure which firewall does work 100% with 2003, stick with the built-in firewall. Something is better than nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorbing Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Like I said before. I have Zone Alarm 3.7.159 but I have not installed it on Win2003 because I do not see anything on their web site that states it is fully compatible with Win2003. When they make it official that it is then I will install it. Until then I will use the built-in firewall (which sucks), but like I said before: Something is better than nothing.
