I am trying to isolate a third party mac machine from our network. They also need remote access to the machine, I have a PIX 506E they could use for VPN. I have a Dell Powerconnect switch I could use for VLANs but I just need some suggestions on completely isolating this machine from the other PC's<br />
<br />
Thanks..

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
