hi

i need some information about firewalls - as im currently trying to write one. Im hoping people know of really good websites that explain them and the best types ie. what services to allow/disallow, what protocols are best. if anyone has any advice, please let me know.

hi rob,
for more info on firewalls go to www.thepublicworks.com security section and link to these sites: firewalls and security, firewall security, grc.com, firewall guide, firewall net, firewall forensic, wilders.org, and pcflank.
hope this helps,
murve
