Win Server 2003 firewall recommendations

    I've just set up a Windows 2003 server at home and I don't have a decent 3rd party firewall to run on it.

    The machine doesn't have an internet connection but it is connected to a switch that has an ADSL router hanging off it.

    Has anyone any recommendations ? or would the inbuilt firewall be any good ?

    Are you looking for a firewall or AV solution? Your title says one thing, but your post says the other...

    If the machine is behind a router, just made sure that the router's firewall is enabled and properly configured. That will be stronger than a software firewall on the PC.
