Hike up your skirt a little more, and show your world to me.

Windows 7 Firewall, With Router.

IPTables, which is built into the Linux kernel with different front ends offered for various distros and DEs.

For WinXP an older, tighter, slimmer, cleaner version of Comodo v2.4.18.184 (thanks to Trel).

Smoothwall at the perimeter protecting three separate networks, Kerio 2.1.5 on my only Windows (XP) machine, IPtables / Linux based systems.

I'm on Windows XP, so Comodo 2.4.18.184
You know, the last good one.

/chown -R us:us /yourbase

I use a router plus look n stop.

Mine;
Windows built-in firewall for systems
Hardware router firewall for networks

A couple of corrections:

1) pfSense is not Linux. It is FreeBSD.

2) You forgot 3rd party Linux firmware, like DD-WRT and Tomato, etc.

3) Techincally all Linux based "firewalls" use the same firewall underneath -- IpTables.

Getting people to stop using windows is more or less the same as trying to get people to stop smoking tobacco products. They dont want to change; they are happy with slowly dying inside. -- munky99999

"Quid pro quo"

I have a Cisco ASA 5510 for my home office, only becuase I have 5 Site to Site Vpn tunnels with my companies locations.

Nothing like getting enterprise level security for no cost.

Windows XP Pro, Zone Alarm w/router.

Windows 7 Home Prem, Windows Firewall w/router.

And I voted wrong, I missed the "router w/software firewall" choice.

Windows XP Pro SP3 Firewall + 2Wire 2701 HG-G with software firewall rules in place.

I find it most interesting how this poll is finding the largest usage thus far is the Windows Firewall. Not too many years ago, that would be unheard of!

I use IP tables with a basic frontend (CSF) on the linux boxes and a router/firewall combo (smc) at the network edge.

I think the firewall of Vista and 7 is reasonable, no need to replace. And no one just bothers to disable it and install another

XP Pro with router, and ZA. I've tried others, but always go back to ZA.

I have hardware firewalls at both home and office. ZyWall 35 at the office and a couple of ZyWall 10W at home. The 10Ws are past prime but bandwidth at my home is only a T1 so they are able to keep up OK. On the computers at both locations I use Windows 7 firewall but the ZyWalls are the first and primary line of defense.

I chose "other" in the poll.

Change software fw periodically but the router one is always on

Is there any firewall in existence that is not mentioned in the Great poll

edit: missed one Sphinx software

Kerio WinRoute 6 and Cisco PIX 501 via double NAT

Decent countermeasure I think. Haven't witnessed any tampering as of yet. *knocks on wood*

Windows 7 Firewall, which is a GUI front end to the built-in firewall.

Online Armor for my XP Pro, Vista systems and FireStarter for my Linux systems, along with a Linksys BEFSR41 Router.

Thanks for the poll Wildcatboy.

Windows 7 firewall plus router.

For the time being I'm running the Windows 7 firewall behind my router. I'm waiting for Online Armor to come out in 64-bit version.

Justin Timberlake brought sexy back. I'm putting it away again.

Currently using Outpost Free on my XP64 desktop, though I don't like it much, and Sunbelt on my XP32 laptop.

I wish there were more decent ones for XP64.

So I'm pretty much disappointed with both political parties. Yeah.
