Hi,
Suggestions for testing/scanning against the firewalls would
include trying freeware tools such as nmap or commercial
products like Retina or ISS.
Zonealarm is free and pretty good. Zonealarm Pro is better
but costs some money. I've also had good success with
McAfee Personal Firewall.
Thanks,
Ian
