Comodo + dgl -4300 needed? or just the hardware firewall ok?

[pugh]

Do you think running Comodo firewall is overkill for my network when I have every pc behind my DGL-4300 ? Also I need some way to stealth ports 80,443 . I used GRC and another site and they seem to think its a concern. I run my windows home server also that use those ports.. Any ideas?

Router's NAT Firewall id a partial protection, it only close the inbound.

For effective protection against info getting out from your Network to the Internet you need Software Firewall too.

Windows XP Native Firewall is like the Router so it is useless and another Software Firewall should be use.

Vista has a good Native two way Firewall that is excellent with the advance features.

As for 3rd party Software Firewall that is compatible with both XP and Vista I like this one better.
