If I understand this correctly, you need a firewall to run on the same box as the Windows Server 2003 OS. If this is correct, as stated ISA is a pretty good option as it integrates very well. Another option (assuming you have the resources for it) is to run a virtual firewall in a Virtual Machine (Vmware Server). I have seen setups with a small virtual m0n0wall where one physical interface of the server is connected to the LAN and the second interface is bound to the Host-Only network in VMware. You then have one of the virtual firewalls interfaces bound to the Host-Only network and the second bridged to the second Physical interface of the server. This essentially gives you a full firewall on the same physical server as the Server OS. While this may not be an optimal choice and I cannot attest to the security of this setup, it is pretty clever and free. -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Jørgen Hovelsen Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 7:17 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Firewall for Windows Server 2003 Hi. Im looking for a firewall for Windows Server 2003. I googled it, and found out that there are several different available. - Have anyone experience with third-party firewalls on 2003? - Are there anyone that could share some of their opinions? -- mvh Jørgen H.
