Hi there,

I've got no real problem just a simple question.
I'm using to win2000 machines connected with a crossover cable for internet, printer & file sharing. On the host I've installed the Sygate Personal Firewall.
Is it necessary to install this firewall on the client machine also?

Thanx for your answers.

as do mine.

Wawa is giving you some sound advice...

I have a rather large home network.
set up for testing and other purposes. Each computer has a firewall, an antivirus program, etc.

some may say that I over do it.. but I have never been compromised, yet.
