Is the firewall in XP PRO with sp2 any good, and should it run with another firewall at the same time. Do you need a firewall with dsl.
My IP tell me I don't need one, that it's in the system from there end.

I'm using the XP firewall and I don't have any problems, nor do I have problems with any games and SP2...

The firewall in SP2 is better than XP's previous firewall, but it's still not fantastic.

Fortunately, XP SP2's security centre can also monitor third-party firewalls, such as Zone Alarm et al It's not reccommended to run two firewalls simultaneously....

I've used the XP firewall for quite some time, just because I was too lazy to ever reinstall Zone alarm after my server's HDD died, and I haven't had any problems with it.
