The only traffic allowed through these routers is always originating from your PC's and the block all traffic originating from the Interent by default.I don't use a firewall on my Mac, nor did I use one when I was using a PC.Now if you have a broadband connection and you connect you Mac directly into a DSL or Cable modem provided by your ISP, then I would turn on the FW.</blockquote>
