I've got a question.

I'm running WinXP Home Service Pack 1 here on 3 machines, all of which go through a D-Link
DI-604 Router. I have read that it's a good Idea to run a software firewall as well as the NAT
hardware firewall. My problem is when I turn on the WinXP built in firewall, the computer
dis-appears from my home network which I'm sure is what it's supose to do. How can I run
the XP firewall and still be seen on my home lan ???? Thanks in advance..........

Brian
