I am really new with networking and anything other than dial up so I have a quick question about broadband internet. Finally I will have an alternative to dial up internet available. I am pretty much sure that I will go with cable but I have heard that it is pretty hard to protect a cable connection. My question is; will traditional firewalls such as zone alarm work effectively with a cable connection? This is going into my home and will have at least three computers on it, can I use a router to enhance my security.

Thanks a lot for your help.
