Re: should I use a firewall if behind a router



Hi,
Thank you for replying.

To Dom: don't need to protect from LAN hosts, unless my flatmate
becomes a bad-hass :)
the router is uPNP-enabled so yes, that's a good point.

To SecurityFreak: yes, you are right I should change the admin/password
combination, this is not very clever ;)

To Duane: the router is wireless, but I'm connected via LAN as I don't
have any wireless device on my PC.
I'll try to create the rule, but I'm pretty sure I've
done that before. When I was prompting about action to take when the
router tried to access my PC, I set a rule and tick the 'always allow'
box....

Thanx

.
