| 401896 | 2005-11-04 21:22:00 | Recently gone out an purchased a router; catalog.belkin.com Can I turn off my software firewall (Windows Firewall SP2) and use this firewall, without increasing my security risk? |

| 401897 | 2005-11-04 21:44:00 | Both should run in conjunction with the other. I would keep both going :) You can turn off the software firewall, but you better be sure your hardware firewall is working and configured correctly |
