Does anyone have experience with or a recommendation for a good software firewall product for server installation?

Why not a hardware firewall?

Hardware forces a change of the server's IP address. I can't change the IP. Can't say more than that.

Windows firewall is OK, but it has minimal support for whitelisted IP addresses.

i used tiny firewall 2 years ago...
IIRC you could have a list of forbidden IP's or a list of allowed IP's.

I used ZoneAlarm Pro for a while. But I had to spend a lot of time "training" it what-was-what.

Cisco hardware seems. to me, to be a lot less hacked than software solutions; but I may be talking bollocks of course!
