Thanks again. You NT folk sure can be nice! I've grabbed all those tools and I'll be running some experiments over the weekend. Cheers

Thanks, I've had a look at the Sygate site and like what I see! I'm new to all this so it's good to know there are alternatives. I'm assuming both the standard (free) and pro versions work with win2k server? The router/firewall solution is something I've contemplated, but it seems a bit like overkill as my machine is not a web server per se -- I use it strictly for development purposes (IIS & SQL). I only go online through SQL Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer to administer DBs remotely, as well as FTP to upload content. Thanks again.

Hi all, I'm running Windows Server 2000 for ASP/SQL development at home and am spooked by the attention my server gets as soon as it goes online. I've lost count of the times I've had to re-format the b*stard. My question is: can I use Norton Personal Firewall on a Server 2000 setup? If so, should I expect any problems? McAfee Firewall won't support Server, even though it runs like a dream on my 2000 Pro configuration (I'm forced to run a dual boot just so I can surf 'safely' in 2000 Pro) Cheers, any help is much appreciated
