ZoneAlarm firewall with FileMaker Server

[BikeBoy]

Hi,

I began using ZoneAlarm 3.7.202.0 with FileMaker Server 5 running on Windows 2000 server.

The users can access the database files hosted on the server, but can only view data, not enter records, etc.

I am very new to firewalls, wondering if anyone knows how to allow data entry and keep high level of security at the same time.

Thanks very much

I was using ZoneAlarm, but because it was colliding with my CD Nero burning software I've stopped to using ZA.

Is ZA open for both communications, in and out?

[BikeBoy]

Yeah, should be.

I've fixed the data entering problem, but still sometimes the databases take a long time to close on the server.

Just wondering what is the best tried-and-true firewall to use with FileMaker Server 5.

IMHO -- the whole network should be protected by good firewall. Hardware or with some Linux software.
