    Hi,

    I have a group of avid travelling users in my company. They will normally
    connect to the internet from a hotel or internet cafe connection and VPN to
    access internal resources.

    I figured out the best way to prevent trojans or viruses from spreading when
    these users connect the same machines when they are back into the office
    LAN, is to ask them to turn on some kind of personal firewall when they are
    connecting from a hotel or internet cafe.

    Can someone advise me the best way to approach this, and what kind of
    firewall software should I use???? I think Windows XP firewall is good
    enough, but it gives problem when I tried to use VPN over the
    Internet........

    pls advise!
