Firewall/Router Question

[Rakewell]

Greetings,

I recently purchased a Linksys wrt54g Router, and am very happy with it... but I am concerned about its firewall.

Do I need another firewall on my computer, or is the router's firewall sufficient on its own?

If I do need another one, any recommendations on a firewall? Should I use the Nvidia one included on my A8NSLI-Deluxe?

Thanks in advance...

Cheers,

Rakewell

Do not even install the NVIDIA "Junk". see here:http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=36&threadid=1695973&enterthread=y

Yeah you need a software Firewall, and one active AntiVirus, and one active AntiSpyware in addition to your Router.

Why? Basic Protection for Broadband Internet Installation.

Freeware Security suit for Internet Connection Protection.

I really like the 3Com OfficeConnect Series. They have wireless G built into them. They have stateful packet inspection, which is better than most of the "Best Buy brands" out there, like LinkSys, Netgear, and D-Link. It's not too expensive either.

How much do those 3com's run? Are they comparable to say, a PIX w/ integrated 802.11?
