Re: Just making sure before I get happy....
Right. The firewall in the router will be your best protection from unsolicited incoming connection attempts.
You should also use a software firewall for the separate purpose of controlling outbound network connections made by applications or the OS. But for this, use a third party product such as Zone Alarm or Kerio. Just turn off the inferior Windows Firewall, and ICS, and the service that supports them. |

| Oh I know that it's good, but you see i deal with a LOT of cheap ppl. They don't wanna spend the money on a router if they don't have to. Hell I have 2 seperate DSL accounts and both of them are on their own router. But ppl who don't know see it as a waste to buy one. But then they'll be paying me more to fix the problem than it will cost to buy the router. |
