| 227054 | 2004-04-04 04:25:00 | I am using an Ethernet/USB/ADSL modem Router. I use so I did not get stuck with modem driver problems in linux. Do I still have to use a firewall "Zone alarm" . |

| 227057 | 2004-04-04 23:00:00 | I presume this modem/router has NAT. Are you using the ethernet connection or USB? Cheers Murray P |

| 227059 | 2004-04-05 09:08:00 | Network Address Translation basicly converts it from your ip addy on the net to your network ip addy. bonus here is that it provides some incoming protection. however reguardless if you have NAT or not you still require something (personally firewall) to control whats accessing the net from your pc. |

| 227061 | 2004-04-05 09:48:00 | Good firewalls: Kerio and Sygate are recommended as is ZoneAlarm, although the latter does have its antagonists. | Susan B (19) | ||

If you have no idea what a firewall does, and how to use it properly then use zonealarm . Kerio, and others like it, are more for the advanced user . . . |
