now that's interesting. i just went through all the settings on my netgear router. nothing says firewall. i guess i've not worried about it as the macs have a firewall. does one need a firewall if your network is password protected?
Up until now it's been enabled and I've never had a problem getting any other device connected. I know macs have their own "protection" but what I don't know is whether having the firewall disabled opens the router itself up to unwanted access.
