Firewall for Windows?
Stryker:
I'd feel a lot safer with windows if I used an external firewall. Such as a router, or a gateway. I'd set up another linux computer and allow it to be a gateway. And use ipchains or iptables on the linux machine.
as for the bios thing, i found a good way of clearing it is to run your feet on the ground a bunch and touch the motherboard. repeat several times. Your computer will probably never turn on again, but the password will be gone
- dont do that
HPC GUY:
my linksys router didnt stop the Dos attack on me sygate did :D
X123:
Zone alarm is a good firewall. Download the trial of the pro version and get a registration code off kazaa-lite or off a warez site.
DJ:
Smoothwall and IPCop both irritated me. I couldn't get either of them to work. I would just use RH but my old box has onboard video and it isn't supported and I need a way (graphic) to be able to edit rules and set port forwarding and block my roomies when they don't pay me for bills etc :D

i use zonealarm and kerio as a matter of course on the rare occasions i have to use windows. i have no idea how secure they are though. each one catches access attempts that the other totally misses, so how much stuff gets past both of them i wonder?
also, both are totally cost free for personal use.
