Firewall needed through computer with internet while on laptop?

[eldorado99]

I just recently hooked my laptop computer up so that it is connecting to my main computer which has the internet using crossover, my main computer has a firewall on it (zonealarm) so would my laptop need a firewall too?

Can't hurt, your laptop won't always be hooked up there in your room.

Yeah, you need Firewall on each computer. If you use NAT (Hardware or Software) the second computer gets the Internet before the first computer's Firewall.
