Hi newsgroup,

I have a small home network, 1 Win98 laptop and 1 XP desktop sharing a cable
internet connection through the XP machine with a hub. I have Norton
Personal Firewall installed on the 2 machines, I'm planning to get a router
from Netgear (RP614) which has a NAT/SPI firewall, would this be enough
protection or do I keep the Norton firewall on my machines?

Thanks,
Limonzitos
