Finally leaving the dark ages of the net....

I haven't done anything with it recently but Zone Alarm used to be a pretty good freebie software firewall. For hardware, I personally use a nice Cisco pix 506...but they are quite spendy. Also, if you have XP the one from Microsoft will suffice for the average person...

I really like Zone Alarm. Thats what I use for firewall, and SPAM

Cool, thanks!!

What is a good firewall? Where do I get it?
Any good freeware ones out there??

If you have a spare pc laying around, doesnt have to be anything special.

m0n0wall
based on BSD, cando captive portal and whatnot

Smoothwall
based on Linux

both can run off a bootable CD and have web based front ends.

I used to run a monowall firewall...it is a good setup and in someways I like it better than my $$$ Pix.

If you go to ActionTech Webtsite they have a new firmware that fixes it, it does say to go to the qwest website but qwest does not have anything for a fix. Many have said they are using the one directly from ActionTech with success.
