ok, I just got a BELKIN ADSL 2+ High Speed Wireless Router (the 125 version ) and was wondering if its a good Idea to have firewall software on each computer or is the inbuilt firewall in the router good enough to stop attacks?

The firewall in the router should be good enough to stop incoming attacks, but they will not stop software from the inside, like if you would open an infected file and it would connect to IRC and wait for commands.

ok, Turned ALL the options off and still no ebay... so I did this Advanced Rule -

(Heres the Advanced Rule Summary) -

Rule Summary:
This rule will allow incoming traffic from IP address(es) "My ROUTERS address" on IP protocol type 1. This rule will be applied to SiS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter. This traffic will be recorded in the 'Packet Log'.

And Now EBAY works Very Happy.... All I want to know, is that Rule Safe???

Thanks
