At the moment, I have 2 machines using ICS for Internet access, but I am
going to set up a proper home network at the weekend.

My 3 machines will be connected to a Netgear ADSL modem/firewall/router.

I have anti-virus software installed on each machine, but only have a
software firewall installed on my main machine (see sig below) which has my
printer & scanner connected to it.

As each machine will be able to connect directly to the Internet through the
router, will I need to install a separate software firewall on each machine
on my home network ?

TIA,

Stu.
