Due to the fact that you are dealing with credit card processing, you may
need to meet PCI compliance standards - more details can be found at:
http://usa.visa.com/business/accepting_visa/ops_risk_management/cisp.html
This requirement includes "Install and maintain a firewall configuration to
protect data". Typically, this means that PCI compliance audits would not
accept a router as a firewall, although there are some devices that can act
as both.
You should check with your credit card vendor to ensure that you meet their
security requirements.

Subject: [fw-wiz] firewalls and routers
I'm afraid I have some really basic questions (I'm trying to resolve a
potential security issue where I work).
1. if we are using a router, does that mean a computer that processes
credit
cards does not need to have its firewall enabled?
2. can a router have a firewall and if so, how does one get to it to
configure it?
thx
