Re: Please Prove My Father Wrong!

"And I'm the only one that is running a personal firewall on a PC hooked up to the network (Zone Alarm Pro). The firewall on my PC NEVER goes off when someone is attempting to get into is. I have it set to block any and all incoming information unless I say it's ok, and still have never seen anything."

You shouldn't see anything incoming with the software firewall. If the router is setup properly. It would seem it is - since your not seeing any alerts with the software firewall. You should see alerts when programs want access out for the 1st time etc. The router should be handling anything that is incoming before it has a chance to even reach the software firewall.
