Forget Sygate. Just use the Windows-Firewall. Popups are a b0rken

BTW: the correct answer on a SYN is RST, if the port should be "closed".
I'm sorry, should have mentioned that i am on Windows 2000. I'm trying to
block incoming SYN since there is no earthly reason why someone should want
to connect to a port above 1024. I run no server apps except emule and
bit-torrent.

Are there any software firewalls for windows, that do just firewall-ing and
have the SYN-block feature? Something like Sygate which is neat, clean and
minimal. A hardware device is ruled out - I live in Bangalore, India and
don't have the same range of choices that you would have ( interpret that
as expensive ).
