Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)
I have been using Norton Internet Security as my firewall for a while
now, and have just installed a wireless router (Microsoft MN-500) on
my PC. Microsoft documentation says that the software firewall
(Norton) is not needed anymore and might cause conflicts. Since the
software firewall provides more protection (such as stopping apps on
my PC from accessing the internet, etc), I would like to keep using
it. Can anyone give me more info on whether there will be any
conflicts or issues with using both the hardware firewall and the
software firewall? Should I just turn off the firewall on my router?
Thanks for your help
