how does the WinXP SP2 Windows firewall rate?

Just curious - how do you think this inbuilt firewall compares to, say, zonealarm free. I am mainly interested in terms of security rather than useability.



For a short period I am using it on a temporary windows gateway until I get new linux gateway with iptables.

It's no better or worse than any other solution that blocks incoming events. It has no blocking for outgoing events like ZoneAlarm though.

Thanks, Lars. I think it will be fine for my purposes over the next week or two.
