No idea, but that is not what he said. I quote "There is one big benefit, which no hardware router can bring you. Zone alarm and other Windows based Software Firewalls can block network access for programs. A HW firewall can only block a whole machine but can't denied access for one software and allow access for another software on the same machine." Bonus points: Who can spot the inaccuracies. The fact is that there probably is not (not that I know of) a true "hardware firewall" available. It all has some sort of software unless someone has written a RFC to control transmission packets via resistors. For layer 7 filtering, lots will. The Cisco Pix for example. > > 2) The statement is incorrect.

Bad advice needs to be beat like a red-headed stepchild. You won't see me post often for the following reason: 1. If I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, I keep my mouth shut, or in this case, I stop myself from typing. 2. I do not post to foreign language mailing lists. It is hard enough to get a point across in my native language. -- --------------------------- Michael Osten www.bleepyou.com
