DSL Router Firewall

I recently bought a Netgear 314 Router and wanted to know, is the DSL router firewall enough security for a 2 computer home network or should I still have Zone Alarm installed and running on each PC?
 
If properly configured it should be (I am assuming that you mean the router you bought has its own firewall cause DSL does NOT give you any protection). The only downside of this is most hardware firewalls that consumers can afford do not usually offer logging and tracing abilities that you get with software ones.

But really, since Zone Alarm is free and easy to install, it never hurts to have too much protection.
 
ZoneAlarm will prevent spyware from sending information out from your PC....

But for blocking incoming traffic the router firewall will be enough...
