"Are They Really Necessary?"
|
The installation of a software firewall on individual computers is a necessary accessory to the hardware Firewall/Router. That may seem excessive, but the Hardware and Software versions each have different strengths and weaknesses and provide slightly different security features. Sometimes the hardware Firewall/Router you buy has a software firewall built in as well. Window XP users should consider upgrading their firewall protection from the Window XP Service Pack |

Windows Vista users
who want to make sure they have configurable two-way filtering may need to
buy another security product or firewall that provides outbound as well as
inbound protection. If you have a DSL or broadband cable connection, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may have given you a DSL/Cable router with a firewall built in. Usually, all you have to do is read the manual and turn it on. If your ISP did not give you a DSL or Cable broadband router with a built in firewall you can buy one. They are relatively inexpensive. If you have DSL, buy a DSL router. If you have Cable broadband ISP get a Cable Router. Most of the popular router brands have built in firewalls and a feature called NAT, Network Address Translation. This hides your real IP address from the Internet. Is Your Firewall Doing it's job? Don't Have One? Click to Download a Free Top Rated Firewall from Sunbelt Personal Firewall or ZoneAlarm

This is a family oriented web site - here's a quote from among |
"A
great example of a reference source which provides a lot of
disparate articles dealing with isolated topics, yet which leaves
the visitor in no doubt that more is required, is Richard
Rossbauers Firewalls-and-virus-protection site. You could not
visit that site, read an article on, say, virus protection, and be
under any misapprehension that virus prevention was a complete
cure. Thats the sort of site I am happy to endorse because it
offers a genuine, ongoing and constantly updated education"
