troubleshooting Question
I need a recommendation on a small network firewall.
Hi folks.
I need to replace a Cisco PIX 501 unlimited license firewall at a customer site. The customer has cable internet, and the cable modem took a lightening strike. The replacement modem has Gb Ethernet instead of 10/100. The PIX "outside" port is 10/100 and the two will not negotiate a speed. The Internet provider states they can not modify the ethernet port speed on the cable modem.
The network has 30 PC's and one server (Novell).
I need a relatively low cost, basic firewall that can connect to a cable modem with Gb ethernet. Right now I have them connected with a Linksys broadband router. I want more than a NAT device, but do not need any VPN features.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
