Gustav,
Thanks. Haven't had a chance to try on Win2K but now that you've flagged it
I will. I haven't had a problem with it on WinXP.

I previously used Sygate Personal Firewall but Symantec has recently killed
it. I then went with Kerio Personal Firewall and since then Sunbelt Software
has acquired it (rescued it from being discontinued). They recently sent out
an email that they are still working on improvements that will be included
in an update for existing clients.

I generally use both a software and a hardware firewall. The built in MS
firewall doesn't deal with outgoing traffic so it is useless for detecting
malware attempts at contacting the outside world.

John B.
