Hey all. My turn for a question, I've placed it in this section as I just want to chat about the issue. It's not a problem I need resolved.
All I want to know is, can a software firewall (such as McAfee (spit), Norton (hock... spit), or ZoneAlarm (yay!!) be ran in conjunction with the Firewall built into a router?
Having never had a router before, and finally upgrading to one, I always used ZoneAlarm on my PC.
The router comes with a Firewall built in (probably as good as the Windows Firewall, but cannot be switched off).
Would a software based firewall conflict with the firewall on the router?
Thanks.
- I'm good, just not that good
