Hello,
do you know a good firewall for Win XP, freeware also for office
use?

Zonealarm and similar, I think, are freeware only for non commercial
(home) personal use.

Best Regards

All software firewalls have the disclamer that they are free for home use
but need to be paid for in business use.

And it's fair, too.
Why not pay a software when it's used in a commercial/business environment?

environment?

Agreed. XP has one built in, although it's only rudimentary protection,
it is miles ahead of having nothing.

If you are willing to reconsider the windoze requirement..

You couldn't do much better than IPCOP. Superb Linux based firewall. Easy to
use/install. Good for home or office use.

Many softwares are free for all use. For example most of the
open-source ones.

Proxy+ (http://www.proxyplus.cz) is free for commercial use
although some of the features are limited in the free version.

It provides a relatively basic firewall (more than adequate for
normal use) plus a whole bunch more like NAT, mail server,
WWW server, proxy servers for HTTP, FTP, SOCKS, etc, access
rules, browser based management interface and more.

a old box, linux, and iptables perhaps? I've been threatening to try
that.
 
I believe Outpost by Agnitum is free for commercial use as well.
