What would be a good free firewall software package to get for win2k?

The blue box is up and running now but has no firewall software on it. I would like to be safe and add some. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The solution is:

Kerio 2.1.5 (http://www.kerio.com/dwn/kpf2-en-win.exe)

I use Zone Alarm (which many frown on) on my 2K amchine but I also use it in conjunction with a hardware firewall as well. You shouldn't be broadband without both IMO.

I'm happy with ZA but not everyone is.

I used Zone alarm for years as a consultant at many different sites. Saved my bacon a few times. And it is (or was) free.
