Good Hardware Firewall - need suggestions

[The Stigenator]

guys,
We have DSL connection via a Flowpoint 2200-16 Router& NAT. I had teh ISP open one port piped thru to allow HTTP in to an internal server (which unfortunatly when this network was originally designed doesnt have Private IP's),but they opened all 65535 ports. Anyway I need a firewall fast.

I plan to do some stuff from the web, but I cant have this green flag open for much longer.. any ideas?

For temporoary use I will try and use zonealarm to block incoming signals to that machine.

but please recommend a good firewall that can be used with our Router. I want to be able to assign random ports to several machines - thus creating a controlled open hole in the firewall.

I have a Flowpoint 144 router/modem. It has its own firewall. It connects then to a Linksys 10/100 5 port switch, which then links to 4 computers. All of them also have ZoneAlarm installed and active. Test after test shows no holes . . . all stealthy.

is this for personal use or a company? You could use a cisco pix (layer 3 PAT)with a axent (raptor) firewall (layer 7 NAT) but that would cost some bucks. For home I use linksys/dsl router, seems to be ok.

Take an old penitum, and OpenBSD. Best, most secure firewall you can get currently, plus you can have it masq the network without much effort.
