Question on Firewall
I am running a server on my computer. Does anyone know if I can use a firewall to block certain IPs from access my server. If so what firewall would be recommended. Thank you in advance

What kind of server, ie what OS is it running?
What kind of connection?
Do you have a router or other firewall device?

Ouch.
I would buy a router particularly if your cable modem doesn't support NAT or have firewalling built-in. Routers are quite inexpensive nowadays.
