How you know it if there is a BUILT_IN FIREWALL in your router? and how to install a fire wall?

Usually says so on the outside of the box. :D And when you connect to the router to configure it there'll usually be a tab on the web interface to support and configure the firewall. Standard procedure: RTFM. And if it's built into the router, you won't have to install it.

If you want to use one that is host based (that is, installed on your PC) I do recommend Sygate for Windows platform machines.

oHHH i SEE !!!!
thanks bro...
Regarding jopmus78, how's the network setup?
I think jopmus78 is starting his best to persue his networking carrer
If I were you I always ask questions to PRO's like MsMittens....
And always try to see it by yourself by experimenting it dude......
read more books.......
and use google to search for more info....

Agree with Jin on this. MsMittens reminds me very much of my old C++ instructor who got her start coding for big blue way back when. She could teach a kindergartener calculus, and I'd trust her with my world.

hows your networking days?
