Ok, a couple of questions keep nagging at me here..lol  The first, are you using the server for a corporate network, or 
do you have a home network with a server as it's core?   I realize that may sound funny, but I just purchased a used 
Compaq Server for $200.00 to use on my home network.  (Also, so I can get a little experience with it, for future 
career opportuniites).  In my situation, would the "Free Personal Firewall" not apply?  

I do, however, agree with those that are saying, if you are using it for a corporate account, you can't use the Free 
Personal Firewall.  I would think, if you can afford the cost of a server for a corporate account, you can afford 
$50.00 or less for a good Professional firewall.

ZoneAlarm is good, to an extent.. I have ran into a problem with them, and they only use e-mail support for the 
firewall (that's a -- in my eyes).. Sygate, offers phone and e-mail for their Professional firewall, but only 'forums' 
for the free version.  

Patrick.
PS. the obvious one to stay away from is BlackICE (aka swiss cheese).
