Re: Enable Firewall



If this is a SBS box... if you have 2 nics, then you already have RRAS in place to protect you.

If this is a SBS box with one nic.... then you need a HARDWARE firewall on the outside.

Zone Alarm is a desktop software firewall and is not for servers.

Now then... do you have SBS or Windows 2k3 sp1?

I am running W3K3 SP1 and RRAS with VPN (though not configured yet).

I gather that there is a shared component with a RRAS Firewall.

Is there a way to run both? What is my risk leaving the Windows Firewall disabled? Do I need to run something like Zone Alarm?
