I would like to know if anyone out there is using a firewall. Particularly people who have DSL or Cable Modem connections. Do you use one? Which one? How do you like it? What do you feel would make it better? General comments?

im getting dsl in a few days. im gonna use a firewall/router on another computer. ipnetmonitor (goto Sustainable Softworks seems to be the best one. kind of technical and completely configurable. if you just copy the settings in the manual, you will be fine. it works just great. this should cover other questions SustWorks's Firewall Stuff

I hace an Imac G3 400MHz and I install NetBarrier from www.intego.com. This is an excellent product for protecting your computer. It is fairly priced as well. Check
them out. I know this is what you are looking for!

yanokwa, I think you mean IPNetRouter. IPNetMonitor is the ping/network diagnostics program.
