    If your gonna use a software firewall then why not use the on built into XP?
    Better still get a hardware one, does not suck up system resources and is MUCH more secure than ANY software one.

    You could put software firewall on each machine or if your running ADSL use a router with a inbuilt firewall.

    i swear if he does not have a router then only the pc connected to the adsl modem needs the software firewall as it goes through it before it goes to the other pcs.
