hardware firewall for home

Aug 24, 2005 1 Replies

Can anyone recommend a small hardware firewall for home use (I've got two machines, a Mac and an old Wintel machine, but am planning to get a new one with XP on it. Panicking already.



Both machines are already behind a small router with firewall capabilities (port blocking, stateful inspection, etc.). Router is an Asante. So, I'm wondering if a hardware firewall added to the mix will do much for me or just complicate my life unneccessarily.

i don't know if you need them. for most home use, the f/w built into popular routers is enough.
