As far as I understand... but again I refer you to Robin Walker's excellent site at <http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.walker/cmtips/ index.html> An internet router on your network passes requests to your various machines using NAT - Network Address Translation. The only machine visible to the 'net is your router. So it's a basic firewall.... More advanced firewall routers include 'something' to detect attacks on your network from Bad People. Or ways of opening ports to run a web server etc. Anyway, you'd have... Cable Modem --> Router ---> Airport Of course an Airport is also a router and does NAT. Confusing huh!
