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..

Not not nessecarlily, because NT might have special vunerabilities. Just admin it.. you're just trying to catch up with me

you coukd give sygate a try
www.chip.de/downloads/c1_downloads_13002710.html

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

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.

My hardware firewall provides a nice simple to use web interface. Most will.

I dont give a sh*t. Please believe me when I say external hardware is not an option. I know what I'm doing.

No I'm not angry

Well, i've got the "deluxe" version of the router he suggested... It runs Linux and you can use your own distro if you like (http://openwrt.org). So it's as secure as a software router, since it's running the same kernel and software

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..

Well, you can use content filtering of packets and UPnP to archive that kinda thing on external router
