Best software firewall for server's...
Im looking for a firewall that is software cause I don't want hardware... I've tested many firewalls : Outpost, ZoneAlarmPro, 8Signs Firewall, Norton Internet Security(I didn't like this one because Norton always slow's the comp down even though its one of the best), Panda Internet Security, Sygate, BlackICE, most of these are personal firewall's what im looking for is an advanced small-business firewall, other than 8Signs Firewall which is very good but slightly hard to configure when I browse all the time on the web ...

If you are intent on using a software firewall then you probably won't find anything better than BlackIce Server Protection. However I would recommend that you buy a 3com wireless router with built-in firewall that will protect your entire network. It will be cheaper than buying BlackIce.

Is this a Linux or Windows server?
From the software you listed I am presuming windows, for business uses zonealarm really is the best, although does take a little time and patience to correctly configureBeeServe

Adyjay, if you insist on using a software firewall, then frankly you are going to be disappointed with all of the current products on the market.
You need to accept that a low cost solution will have its limitations.
