Hello, I have a friend that has Win2k Pro and a DSL connection. The problem he is having is that some script kiddies have decided to make his life a living hell :) So he asked me about firewalls for 2k and to be honest I haven't a clue about NT firewalls ( I am still cutting my teeth on ipmasq/ipchains on my system ). I am guessing that he needs something that can do packet filtering so he can add a rule to deny or drop anything that comes from these script kiddies ip. What would be the best bet for a home user that didn't want to spend $500 on a HW firewall / router solution. As we spend quite a bit of time on IRC we are getting attacked and scanned a lot and being ops we get more than a few attacks from the 3733t h4x0rz. I just need some suggestions, -Thanks for your help -Robert
