Which firewall?

[Avatar]

Im running routing services on my Win2k advance server and was wondering which firewall people could reccomend me, looking forsome thing complex but simple :D with good logging...what do you people use?

I use ZoneAlarm Pro but many people find it problematic, saying that I've never had cause to grumble with it - it's served me well. If it's REAL security you're after, and you feel a bit paranoid, try a router - a hardware firewall will always beat a software firewall! :)
