I need a decent firewall for Windows NT

[tChr]

Anyone know of a decent firewall for Windows NT? I need to be able to configure it to allow port 80 traffic in and out only. Prefferably free, butnot a must.

No, I cant use linux and emulators,
No, I cant use a newer windows.

Edit: NT 4.0 SP 6 patched that is.

I think every firewall running on XP should also run on NT? In case it does not then sorry for the spam

Well i heared a few good things about Kerio..

Get a hardware router and use its NAT and SPI firewall and port foward all the needed ports to the Windows NT Box .
Hardware routers are more secure then a software firewall .

Asus WL-500g :- Router , 4 port 10/100 Switch , NAT & SPI firewall , Wiress Acess Point , Printer Sharer, Traffic shaping and more

Besides the point that getting a HW router costs money while a software firewall does not, a HW router can also be attacked and hacked. Cisco had a few 'incidents' that would make one think twice about HW vs SW routers
Also software routers can be used to control single applications which a HW router can not do because it only sees the network packages. The firewill on the computer also knows about the processes and stuff..
But yeah you have a point that HW firewalls can also be used

[Ed]

A hardware firewall can be cheaper than some of the commercial software firewalls. Either that or if you have a spare old machine going stick a cut down security specific Linux distro on it and run it as a firewall. Many hardware firewalls are running Linux or BSD underneath anyway.

Not an option at all. I have a functional and secure setup for multiple clinets/server, The firewall is needed where i dont use multiple clients, but one of the clients is its own server for a one-computer set-up. Its ment to be set up by people who dont know shit, and only provide a web interface for administration of the application.
