Re: Host-Base Firewall

You can create an IPSEC firewall using the built in "Local Security
Policy" snapin.  Once it is created you can export/import it to ease
creation on multiple machines.  You can also connect to a machines
IPSEC firewall remotely using Microsoft MMC IpSecurity snapin.  I've
used this on 2000, 2003, XP, and Vista.

Hope this is of use.
