Hi all
Can any one suggest me a fiewall s/w by using which i can stop the accessing my win98 pc on Network?

The problem is everyone in my win98 network can access the every win98 pc in my workgroup. I donot want to use Password scheme. I want to grant/deny the access to the network PCs on the basis of NETBIOS name
(not by user names ,password ,permssions etc).

Both Netbeui and TCP/IP is insatlled and i am running Netbios over TCP/IP.
Is it possible to achive the desired goal by using a firewall (without changing network settings)

Please provide me firewall based solution.

Thanks in advance

Netbeui is not required to network or share files on a windows machine this is most likely what is causeing your problem I personnaly would not be running it, however if you must then a firewall would be your only chance try something simple like Zone Alarm its also free.
