Last week, we installed a wireless router for our Power Book (OS 10.4) and Windows XP. We would like to put in a firewall. Is there software that is recommended or should be avoided?


The built-in firewalls on both XP and OS X are  adequate.

Is there anything to keep in mind or to watch for when setting up the firewall?


In both cases it's pretty much 'turn them on'.

Also, your router is providing NAT from the cable connection to your local network which isolates your local network.
