[Vuong Phung <vphung () SCIENCE SJSU EDU>]

I am not sure if it supports windows 2003 server since it does not mention it (most likely it does not support 2003 
since they don't even say Windows 2000 or better) Thanks!

 What are the system requirements for BlackICE Server Protection?
You can use BlackICE Server Protection on any PC running a web server or email server that meets the following 
requirements:

    * Microsoft Windows® NT® 4.0 (Service Pack 4 or better)
    * Windows 2000 (Service Packs 1&2)
    * Pentium class computer or newer
    * 16MB RAM
    * 10 MB free space on a hard drive
    * TCP/IP network connection over 10/100 Ethernet LAN/WAN, cable modem, DSL router, ISDN router or dial-up modem

Windows 2003 built-in firewall only blocks incoming traffic and don't do
much logging and alerting. We are looking for a firewall to install on
Windows 2003 server to control  and monitor its outgoing and incoming
traffic. A lot of googling didn't show many products, and none of them
really stand out or have much review about the products. 

Does anyone know or use any third-party firewall on Windows 2003 server that
can control, monitor and alerting (via email or log to the event log) its
outgoing and incoming traffic?

Thanks!
