I am planning on getting DSL. I need to know which firewall I should buy. I play alot of multiplayer games online, and have a wireless network setup with 3 PC's. Any help anyone can give me would be extremely helpful thanks in advance.

hi thomas, getting a router is a good choice along with a virtual firewall your security is augmented. the choices of routers are many. you can get a good router for upwards of $50 such as d-link, linksys and others. for more info on routers go to www.thepublicworks.com security section, and link to practically networked, speedguide, dslreports, and firewall forensic. all the best in this holiday season, murve
