| Hardware forces a change of the server's IP address. I can't change the IP. Can't say more than that.Windows firewall is OK, but it has minimal support for whitelisted IP addresses. |

| I used ZoneAlarm Pro for a while. But I had to spend a lot of time "training" it what-was-what.Cisco hardware seems. to me, to be a lot less hacked than software solutions; but I may be talking bollocks of course!Kristen |
