    Hello,

    I would like to thank in advance everyone who is out of the office. I
    really do like to hear about it.

    The Network Administrator for the company I work for has charged me to
    locate a Network Intrusion Detection System. We do have a monitored
    firewall between us and the outside world. We need something to protect our
    servers from anyone coming from the inside. We have about 20 Windows 2000
    Servers, 5 NT 4 Servers, and 250 Windows 2000/Thin Net workstations.

    We live in a 100% Windows world and the powers that be will not be receptive
    to any *nix solutions. We are more the willing to pay for a top of the line
    product as long is it is in fact top of the line.

    Currently I have been looking at the Symantec Gateway Device. We like the
    idea of a stand alone piece of hardware. The only problem is we already
    have a gateway server washing our email of viruses and 99% of Spam.

    Does anyone have any comments on the Symantec Gateway device? We have had
    excellent experiences with there Gateway software and NAV Corp. Does anyone
    have a different or better device that they could point me towards?

    I would like to thank everyone who replies to this post. I have learned a
    great deal being on this list the last year and will continue to appreciate
    all the expertise that is freely given here.
