xp firewall

[Drew]

Hello -

I am running three pcs in thru a router in a home network. There is one
winxp, one win98 and one winme. The network is connected to a cable modem
thry a Linksys BEFSR41 router.

Does the router give me enough firewall protection or should I enable the
firewall built into winxp on the one computer?

Is there a downside to enabling the firewall

Thanks

Drew

Hi, Drew - I replied in another group - if you need to post to multiple
groups, it's best to do so all at once in a single message (separate the NG
names with commas) so that everyone can follow the thread. Thanks ....

Crossposting = posting once to several newsgroups within a single message.
This is not a Bad Thing (presuming the list of groups posted to is small,
and all the groups are truly relevant to your question)

Multiposting = posting separate, identical posts to several newsgroups. This
is a Bad Thing.
