I used to have a software firewall with Norton and really liked it. Then I got a Microsoft wireless router for my computers, and for the most part, it has been painless and fun. The router has a hardware firewall built in ( I had to remove my software firewalls so that the network would stay stable), which so far has not needed updating. Every so often I zip over to the Symantec site to test my security, which continues to report that my computer is a black hole on the internet. I'm curious if anyone else is using this "hardware firewall" and what they think of it. Anyone having problems with this setup?
