Hello all i have a Linksys Router/Firewall which is also a NAT and a software Firewall which is Norton Internet Security. My question is should i also use the new and improved firewall that comes with SP2 or should i just disable this since i should not be having 2 software firewalls running at the same time?
Thanks in Advance
Eddie

Correct disable the MS firewall.

why disable the ms firewall? I run NIS and the Windows firewall with no issues

He's already behind 2 firewalls, a third isn't going to add anything. :)

because using two software firewalls can cause one or the other or both to not work right. Pick one that has the features you want and use it. The same goes for Antivirus software.
