Firewall program or a hardware firewall client?

Software firewall for vista
or a full blown hardware firewall client, for protecting the whole network.


A hardware firewall client basic task is to regulate some of the flow of traffic between computer networks of different trust levels. Typical examples are the Internet which is a zone with no trust and an internal computer network which is a zone of higher trust. A hardware firewall clients function within a network is similar to firewalls with fire doors in building construction. It is used to prevent network intrusion to the private network.

If u only need a few computers protected, it is worth considering a software firewall program for each individual computer in the network. There are several good solutions as a firewall for vista, or other systems. U can also get a free firewall for vista that will do the job, however not with the same features as a commercial one.
