[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1703273, member: 46727"] The Firewall on a new Mac is off by default. Apple assumes that your router Firewall will be protection enough. Keeping both your Mac's Firewall on along with that of the router does no harm and might actually be a good thing in case you're out in the public somewhere using free WiFi. Your Apple Firewall protects both incoming and outgoing actions. [/QUOTE]
