  The one built into Windows XP? (assuming you have it)

  What about Windows ICF? It's about as bloat free as you can get. It's in connection settings in XP... not sure if win2k even has it though.

  <a href='http://www.kerio.com/us/kpf_home.html' target='_blank'>Kerio Personal Firewall</a> is an alternative, they have a free version, but it's not nearly as good as ZoneAlarm, IMO.

  I'm with Kerio personal firewall too. I think it's better than ZoneAlarm though. It seems to have a clearer interface and does mostly the samething.
  
  After 30 days the trial period sortof wears off, but that just means it doesn't block pop-ups anymore.

  I'm using Sygate Personal Firewall (Google), it seems OK. I stopped using Zone Alarm because it kept on sending tiny, precious bits of data to somewhere without my permission.

  Search for Tiny Personal Firewall 2.0.15. Unlike later versions, its completely free and has no bloat at all, does what it does with no funky graphics (as in using only default windows look...no funky skinning or graphs or big pictures). Seriously, at that point they werent trying to sell anything, so its pure ease of use and functionality.
