Re: [OT] Firewall

[Andrew Kilgore]

Hi Frank,

There is no reason (I can think of) why you couldn't use a personal
firewall
(ZoneAlarm or other) on each PC.

Just so I understand: Output of modem is connected to the hub and each PC's
netowrk card is connected to the hub...?
If this is the case then you should be able to use XP's in-built firewall
on
both PCs.

Thanks,
Andy.
