Thanks for the information. I like the fact that it is free for home/personal use. Does it seem to be bug free for the most part? -----Original Message----- From: Jim Kenzig http://thethin.net [mailto:jimkenz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2004 12:07 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: Remote Desktop through a firewall I personally like Sygate Personal Firewall better than blackice. http://smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm I like the better blocking control and logging and graphical features.

They have a software firewall (BlackIce Defender) running on the pc. I will open up the port for that machine. I should have a hardware firewall on it first, before I do this right? Also, what is your opinion on BlackIce as a firewall/protection from hackers, ect.
