Newbie Question
I just switched from a dialup to broadband. The router (Netgear wgr614) has a built in firewall. Is there any benefit to running a software firewall such as the one that comes with Norton AV, or Windows' built in firewall? The only thing I can think of is it's an added level of security if someone manages to hack in wireless authentication, but I have the router set up with MAC access control to only allow access by my own laptop's wifi card.
