Hi

I am going to be out and about with a works laptop (win 2k), demoing websites, off local IIS (so will need to enable iis to listen), I would like a simple firewall, like sp2, mainly inbound protection, not really bothered about application filtering last time I used Kerio 2.1.5, is there any alternatives, free trial (will only be for a few weeks) or free ?

Kaspersky's anti hack is quite easy... try it!

Cheers, yes its nice, like the easy option to turn stealth on/off (works a treat in lan/out of office).

Anything else out there ?

If inbound and stealth is all you need, nothing comes close to CHX from www.idrci.net It is free for personal use and all you have to do is download their WAN filter and import it in the CHX console for your connection. The mem consumption is lower than 3mb and CPU is almost nil, you get total stealth at all the sites, there is no outbound though but you can create outbound port specific block filters to block Trojans and Worms.
