XP SP2 firewall and LAN

[Barkingmadscot]

It is possible to configure the firewall in SP2 to trust one LAN and
allow traffic. I have a laptop that i use in different LANs, i only
want to allow full access on my own LAN, when i visit other site, not
allow the traffic

i.e.
trust for example 192.168.123.x, not trust any other

Or am i better to use another firewall something like zonealarm.

Thanks

I personally believe that you should use another firewall because it
allows you to make many more adjustments. i think that 'blackice
firewall' is the best to use.

I would not use or trust Blackice. In the past they didn't secure their
firewall. When a security flaw was discovered they adjusted their program to
hide the flaw instead of fixing it. Read about it at
http://www.grc.com/lt/leaktest.htm and even if they have now fixed this
issue would you trust a company that hid the flaw in the first place. Zone
Alarm is a very good product.
