Is there any firewall client for MAC computers ?

- No FWC for Mac and none planned. Mac clients work just fine as web proxy though.

- NetSecurity, this is not a Windows' forefront issue.
Macintosh has its own firewall that is automated, and not accessible to the user. You can always download a separate program, that has a emulated firewall. Norton's Firewall might have a Macintosh Version.
In advance, do not just post something that you know very well is completely irrelevant to a Microsoft forum.
Hi Schattenkopie,
for some clarification:
The ISA Server Firewall Cclient is not a Personal Firewall like MAC and Windows have.

- Mohit, Tarek thank you both.
Mohit, was wondering why none planned ? for example Microsoft has already software for Mac, such as office & MSN Messenger. - Hi,
My guess would be because the Firewall client will not benefit you with MAC clients. You will not be able to control (exe)Apps.
Check these images : image1, image2
Mohit may have other detailed info :)
HTH,
Tarek
