Hello all,
I have 10 computers in a work-group setup. All computers are networked together. I also have a Netgear FSV318 firewall connected to the network. My question is; Should I disable the firewall from windows and let the netgear alone or can I have the netgear and windows firewall on also? Thank you! |

No - don't disable the firewall on the Windows machine. Although they are both called firewalls, they don't overlap completely in their functionality.
The Windows firewall provides you something that the shared NETGEAR router doesn't provide: Blocking access per application. HTH, Sandra |
