Laptop Protection
« on: Jan 11, 2011, 12:00:54 PM »
Jim ,
DO you use a fire wall protection on your Laptops?
I think my windows 7 should have it ?
On my desktop it said windows 7 has firewall?

Thanks in advance.

Nothing additional from what you get with XP or Windows 7.  I access the internet through a router that has a NAT which basically hides all the internal IP addresses so it acts like an additional firewall.

Thanks Jim,

I just read on my router box It has a built in fire wall to guard against Internet attacks.
This is a Linksys by cisco.

Thanks I must learn to read.
