Running a small network using SBS 4.5, broadband connection via DSL500 router sat on network. Router has NAT enabled.

Need some advice on the easiest firewall solution please.

Hi,

Sonicwall kit is good stuff, I had one for sale but it looks like it has gone. I am a reseller for Sonicwall kit and therefore can get any of their products, but wouldn't want to tread on Jeff's toes. He has prices of the kit on Scoobyshop.

The SOHO3 device would be ideal for you though.

As a reseller of Sonicwall Jit I think it is good but it does have some drawbacks...

If you want a free solution you could install the Steelhead pack from Microsoft it allows packet filters etc..

Willie...whats a SonicWALL Jit ??? obviously the Scottish version

Russell

Looks like SonicWALL gets the Vote. There are alternatives from Netscreen, Watchguard etc as well as ISA server from Microsoft. I'd go for the SonicWALL from the Scoobynet shop if I was you

I'm happy to discuss prices etc off-line if you wish.

Is Oakers my old mate Steve Oakley by any chance ????

Looking at around 15 users on the n/work, although max on the internet at any one time will not be more than 10.

Jeff, I have emailed you

Thanks all.

How many users?

Proxy on SBS 4.5 could do it, but it's not brill.

We use SonicWall SOHO3s for our smaller customers. Very reliable and not rocket science when it comes to configuring them. Somebody had one for sale in here recently - have a scroll back down the forum.
