Well-am I confused or What! Can someone explain the
firewall process to me?
I thought that with a simple home network all you needed
was protection from access via the Internet. If that be
true then it seems that the Windows XP firewall is all
that is necessary. However, it's seems that you have to
disable the WXP firewall in order to get your network to
set up and work.
If this is so, then what good is the WXP firewall if you
are on a network with access to the Internet? I have
McAfee Virus but I had cancelled my McAfee Firewall
because I thought that WXP firewall would do the job.
At the office we have McAfee Virus and Firewall provided
free by our AOL account so this has not be a big concern.
So, one of my many questions is: Can my home network be
set up and running using WXP firewall when I am using a
cable modem, or do I need to re-activate my McAfee
Firewall account?
If I disable the WXP firewall, will the WXP popup blocker
still work, or do I need to get one of those too?
I'm swimming in murky waters...
TIA,
