Correct, the router, if configured correctly, will make your internal network appear nonexistant to the outsider. It generally does not reply to requests made to the most-hackable ports and protocols. It does act as sort of a firewall.
However, the firewall is an additional defense for traffic that is allowed through the router. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Ousterhout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 11:11 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Firewall question But I am getting the impression that router does not equal firewall. Routers do some things that a try firewall does, but not all. Is this correct? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
