Firewall like IPTables for Windows?

[asshopo]

Is there a firewall like IPTables for Windows?

Bascily, what I like about IPTables is it can be modified by anything because IPTables is that it has a text based config file and can resolve the ip of a domain name and use that ip in the rule.

A perfect example of this is that I use a dyndns account. When I'm out and about, I can just simply log into dyndns, update my current ip, and bam, I have access to everything I don't want anyone else to have access to.

I, so far, can not find ANYTHING like this for Windows. Something that has an SDK that either .NET or VB could tie into? Or command line?

Maybe you guys can help?

Thanks,
Paul

If you're looking for Domain resolution you need a WINS server or a Custom Lhmhosts file.

If you want to resolve certain DNS names then configure your hosts file. Otherwise you need remote access and routing (part of windows servers) rras

you can find the files I am talking about C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
