hi-
from a website i was reading...
"The solution is to separate your Internet traffic from your LAN (file
sharing) traffic. To do this, a special networking device or software can
be placed between your computers and the Internet. In addition, attempts
by hackers to access your computers are stopped by a broadband router."
my 1st question is does the router automatically "out of the box" separate
the internet traffic from the LAN or do i need to configure it to do so?
the second sentence is referring to the firewall capability right?
if i dont activate the router firewall hackers could access the computer
even with a router (if i didnt have mcafee).
thanks very much
jim
