I got a 3Com OfficeConnect Gigabit VPN Firewall delivered to site today – nice little hardware firewall. Nice interface – nice price – ideal for a small office 🙂

Plugged in configured connected the computers – worked fine for ten minutes or so …

Then pop and a nice smell of fire!! yes we had mad the firewall into a doorstop?! No idea why – but a quick call to 3com and we should have a new one delivered in around two days so not so bad …..  lets see..

My clients call it the wall of fire – nice and appropriate name id say!!

4 port – wlan port – and two DMZ sockets pretty darn cool for around the £160 mark 🙂
