    i know using routers to access the net with NAT is like having a firewall
    (hardware firewall)

    I am totally unfamiliar with it but if i did have a router lets say the
    latest linksys adsl router, would i need to have a software firewall on the
    terminal it was connected to? or would the NAT on the router do the job 

    -- 
Thanks,
Chris.
