Firewalls and Internet Connection Sharing
Hi Chaps. .. .I've just got ADSL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> and have set up Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on my XP box to allow a couple of other PC's on a home LAN to share the connection. All works fine so far. However, I'm not happy about having an (almost) always on connection without a decent firewall and so I installed Zone Alarm, which I've found to be a very good home firewall in the past.. .. .However, install the free version and bang - ICS dies. After spending a frustrating hour playing around I actually read the instructions and discovered that only the non-free Pro version of Zone Alarm supports ICS. Before I buy that, does anyone have any experience with any of the other non-free firewalls? If I'm going to pay then I might as well buy a good one. . .. .Cheers.
