I need to deploy a firewall solution on my laptops.
About 500 laptops, Win2K Prof.
I have Mcafee VirusScan as AV on desktop machines. No Orchestrater thing
installed.

My concern:
Do you think for my network size I should concentrate on "Network Managed
Solutions" such as Orchestrater Mcafee firewall ?

Or a stand-alone firewall would do well ?
Not sure how heavy is maintenance for personal firewall required for a
network of this size (500 laptops).

P.S.:Sorry if this is duplicated, but I couldn't see previous I sent about
this.
