    What SOFTWARE based firewall can block ports?

    What software based firewall can block port ranges?

    ZA can't can it?(at least not the free version)

    I know hardware firewall is better etc, but it's not for me:-)

    Thanks

    Andre

              The bulit in WIN XP firewall blocks ports.
              Zone Alarm (ZA) does not.


              Get WIN XP SP2.

                  I must be missing something... What does a firewall do if it doesn't block ports?

                  Thats pretty much the whole point

                  I like ducks.

                          Well ZA does block ports, but not for outgoing. It only blocks whole programs etc.

                              Thnx, will look at that one, doubt if they allow me to block msn ports

                              edit: I might be stupid, but I see only how can I ALLOW some ports, not how to block some...

                                  It does more than block ports.

                                  Here's a link that describes a firewall
