Personally I work with SonicWALL, Raptor (now Symantec's product), and Cisco. I also know quite a bit about personal firewalls as well so if anyone needs some information - let me know. Not just on a sales level which I have just moved into but truley on an information based level.

Marc, I have ZA Pro. I purchased it after I had been using the free version for about 6 months. Well did I make a mistake. I will not do so again, I am going to set up a firewall either hardware or Linux. You are correct they do not block specific ports. A good friend of mine and I have beat our heads against the wall trying to get it to do speicific things. He did figure it out. It has the WORSE upgrades of any software that I know of. Make a mistake on the install and TRY to do so again. FORGET IT. You need to wipe the box clean... Steve: run away from ZA. Get a linux ipchains (old Name) and use it. It can be installed on an old 486 without to many problems. Or go buy a firewall like sonicwall or the like. Again do not use ZA to protect your network. It is not going to help.
