Firewall Used with Vista?

What firewall do you guys use with Vista? I have found that my Sygate
PFP, that ran under XP, doesn't want to run under Vista Ultimate.

The included one is very good. I have a hardware firewall in my wireless
router, so I have the Vista firewall disabled.

Unless your needs are really unusual the Vista Firewall is excellent.

Start - Search - wf.msc Windows Firewall
Control Panel - Security - Windows Firewall

CMD - Run as Admin

NETSH FIREWALL RESET

Turns FIREWALL ON and reset to defaults

I use the built-in Vista firewall.

I used Win firewall during install and part of setup and then shifted to
Comodo. Either one gives me a stealth on Gibson GRC.

Use Vista Firewall Control. Free as well.

If you take the few minutes to train the firewall for each program as
you use it for the first time, you will love the security this one gives
you, especially for the outgoing annoyances

I prefer AVG's firewall to Window's built-in.

I went from Sygate to Zone Alarm without any problems.

I just use the built in Vista firewall, plus my router provides hardware
firewall as well.
So far, have not had any problems.
