It is not really a proper firewall.
Good bread is never bought sliced, tasteless rubbish is.

Incoming only though, and missing a lot of (most, actually)
functionality.

Agreed. The XP firewall would probably be close to the worst
recommendation one could make. Pretty well any worthwhile firewall
will have two directional capability.

Regards, John.

Probably not. Sliced bread can be used. Even factory-sliced bread
has uses.

Drywall patching comes to mind.

Only checks incoming NOT outgoing so you will never know when MS is
calling home to see if your serial # is legit. ;-)

This page:

http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=32315

has official info and download links for it. Personally, I would be
loath to try it. GhostWall:

http://www.ghostsecurity.com/index.php?page=ghostwall

may be a better choice, but I haven't used either of these firewalls so
I can't say.

This page has a mixture of freeware and $ware, but at least it has some
freeware:

On this page:

http://hwspirit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=85&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

the freeware is clearly labeled.

I don't reply to trolls like Andy Mabbett or Doc (who uses sock puppets)
for instance. No adware, cdware, commercial software, crippleware,
demoware, nagware, PROmotionware, shareware, spyware, time-limited
software, trialware, viruses or warez for me, please.

What was the best thing before sliced bread?

What was the best thing before sliced bread?

Beer. (The unsliced bread.)

Beer. (The unsliced bread.)

Still a lot better than sliced bread.

I was referring to the "before" part. Man invented agriculture to
assure a supply of beer, not bread.

What was the best thing before sliced bread?

A bread knife.
