Hi,
My home net is behind a hardware firewall on the router. I've turned off the XP firewall and do not run any software firewall on the PCs. I've seen arguments both ways, but I trust the people here more than most. So, is there any need or advantage to running a software firewall in my configuration? And, if yes, what does it do (I understand what a firewall does, but what does the software one add)?
