Last week, we installed a wireless router for our Power Book (OS
10.4) and Windows XP. We would like to put in a firewall. Is there
software that is recommended or should be avoided?
Is there anything to keep in mind or to watch for when setting up the
firewall?

Hi Why don't you just go to the system prefs click on sharing and
turn the firewall on that is built in to X. for the powerbook.
For the windows just install the router software on it, 9 out of
10 times the router will come with fire wall software then you can

Michael,
before you buy anything think about where you want to put the firewall
(could be multiple places). I have small network and have firewall on
the DSL modem, WiFi router and then on each machine. Now that may be a
little too paranoid (but that is what keeps me sleeping in the night).

Hi, I'm getting ready to buy an iBook G4 this week. What's a good firewall?
A friend of mine has some sort of a router box as a firewall instead of a
program.
All suggestions appreciated and/or webpages with info.
Thanks,
Jocelyn

The built-in firewall in OS X is perfectly good. A router using NAT
does do pretty good at blocking things as well.
Truth be told, out of the box OS X
described before by Gavin. You should be able to find one free port (e.g. 21 shouldn't be open
to the wide world as ftp isn't secure). If feeling paranoid, you can can set your firewall to ONLY accept incoming on port 21 for
ssh if coming from certain 'known valid' ip addresses. Port 3128
Hi Laurent,
ssh: connect to host permanentmailbox.com port 22: Operation timed out
yes that looks like port 22 is blocked.
So regarding your related post about the URL containing 'mail' - have
you tried just using the IP address of the web site's host in your
browser request?
i.e.

Two other ideas..
1) auto forward your mail from home to work (not that private though).
2) try VNC (they MIGHT not have closed its ports, you never know) to
connect to your home computer and just operate it by remote control to
read and reply to the mail IT has received.

A Firewall allows you to have some of those services running, but not
accessible to the outside world. These are only useful if you need to
run things in the services pane, or run other programs, such as VNC

Not elementary at all! Security is quite a complex topic, depending on how
paranoid you are and what you want to do.
If you're running OS X on your Pismo, it comes with a built-in firewall
(ipfw). OS 10.2 comes with a built-in way to manage the firewall, but it's
very basic
