Vista Firewalls etc

[morgan]

hi all

just gone over to vista ultimate and just wondering what the best firewall is to use...I've got a netgear wireless network at home and wondering what the best firewall is to use....if any at all....

I've heard great things about the firewall in vista...is it any good or do I actaully need one if I'm connecting to my router wirelessly anyway?

Use the Firewall on the Netgear router and the Vista Firewall. That should be fine. No need for third party software.

Vista includes a bi directional firewall

if you're behind NAT on a router you dont really need anything else

the fact the router has firewall built in, is possibly slightly OTT (but hey it comes free with the router so why not)

dont bother installing anything,you'll be fine
