    For windows 98 it is the TPF version 2 or 3 NOT 4.
    For greater windows version it is IPSEC.

    I have used all three in the past and found Sygate PRO to be the best by far
    (I haven't tried the free version, but I have been told it is quite good
    too).

    The logging features will also help you to better understand what is going
    on while you are "connected".

    Having said that, ZoneAlarm is also very good- a close second to Sygate.

    Best of luck,

    Hi

    I have a PIII 550 m/c running Win98. I need a personal firewall for it. I am
    looking at Zone Alarm, Sygate and Tiny Personal Firewall as my options.

    My intention is not only to protect my systems, but also to learn something
    about logs and analysing them. In light of this, which do you think would be
    ideal?

    No, I don't have a *nix system and don't intend to use it now.
