How capable are those routers when it comes to stopping IP spoofing?
I've never heard and have been wondering. (I use a netgear router,
also)

Given all this discussion, I have to ask about NAT. I have a small
Netgear
DSL router (using NAT) at home. I consider it a great firewall because
it
doesn't let in any packets at all when I run nmap scans from the
outside. It syslogs to my unix machine. What more could I want in a
firewall for a home environment?
