Linksys Broadband Firewall Router - But does it have a firewall ? ? ? ?
Hello Group, I've had this Linksys Firewall Router lying around for about a
year and decided to install due to an increase (??) in virus attacks on the Adelphia network... The model is: BEFSX41 I installed the router A.O.K. and it seemed to work...! Then I looked in the package and found this CD-r with a copy of Nortons Internet Security / with the Norton's Software Firewall. Well, I thought... if the Router has a hardware firewall... WHY would I need a software firewall ? ? ? So......... my question is does the Linksys router have a hardware firewall. And why would they package a software firewall ???? Do I really need the Norton's Software as it crashed my computer after I installed it... as a matter of fact, the install did not even complete..! Anyone.....! Starz_Kid... |
