If I have a wireless router installed and working and configured with a WEP
firewall.

The question is - can I safely stop using the built in firewall with Windows
XP Pro SP2 and rely on the one in the router?

Seems a bit silly having a firewall in the router and on both the desktop
and laptop!

But - just checking to be on the safe side.

Thanks for any advice.
