Default Wanted: simple, free firewall for WinME

One of my machines is running on WinME and I'm looking for a
very simple and free firewall to block inbound traffic only. I don't need
logging or any other whistles and bells. I've tried the allegedly stable
4.5 version of Zone Alarm but it created all kinds of problems with other
software so I uninstalled it.

Any suggestions anyone?

See if you can get hold of a copy of v2.x of Kerio Firewall - works fine for
me
(email me if you can't find one to download)

No problem here, Noel. ADSL, mind, but it's as fast as any other recent
download. I've posted that link a couple of times previously and downloaded
it first to make sure it worked. This time I just assumed it would. But it
did just download while I was typing this.

I was ready to suggest the exact same.
Use it on my machine under Windows ME and without the slightest problems.
Not to be contrary to Noel, but to enrich the realm of choice. I am certain
he doesn't mind, Do you, Noel?
