You could use the built in ICF firewall and if you also need to configure
protection for outbound access you can supplement the Windows Firewall with an
ipsec filtering policy that uses permit and block filter actions. Then you would
not have to spend a penny. The link below explains more about ipsec and you can
access Local Security Policy via secpol.msc. Sygate Pro I believe will work on
server and is around $40 and has a trial period. ---- Steve
