Hm. Question.

[conuly]

Are some firewalls better than others? What's the best free one? I use two different anti-virus programs (not at the same time). Is it wise to also have two firewalls running, or is that just overkill? Why am I posting in the middle of the night, again?

I've had good luck with ZoneAlarm, and have used it at home and at work for at least three years. That said, I just got a wireless router essentially for free after rebates (which will come eventually). Not only has it got a firewall but it does NAT which makes you a lot more secure since nobody can see your internal IP address. And you don't have to use the wireless part of it, it also has 4 wired ports.
