I don' use one. I have a router.
does the router have a firewall? or are you merely relying on NAT (which isnt a real firewall)

It has a firewall and a NAT.

Thats good.

A lot of people get duped into thinking they have a firewall when they are simply using NAT.

Linksys are very BAD for this, they often describe their routers as having "Nat Firewalls". When in reality NAT is not a firewall. e.g Once you do any port forwarding you have big holes in your security.
