For the most part, this problem exists only when the firewall function is turned off. Considering that most people concerned about security would keep the firewall turned on, this may not be such a big threat.

Anyone using broadband without a firewall deserves what they get.

I have a different model Linksys router on my amazon wishlist. I guess I should look into a couple other brands.

I know so little about routers and networks, I have no idea what to buy, so am researching. I read somewhere that to connect a desktop and a notebook on the same network, it's better to have a wireless router?

I have a Linksys Wireless router with ZoneLabs Integrity firewall from work. Should I be concerned? How can I tell if the firewall is enabled? I went into the gateway address to see the settings, but the only setting showing were those if you had Zone Alarm and PC-Cillin.

Why would you have a hardware firewall and turn it off?
Can't it be tested/serviced off line?
