Right now I have a cable modem plugged into my desktop. Then a usb wireless adaptor plugged in so my wifes notebook can acess files and the internet through XPs internet connection sharing on the desktop VIA a wireless pc card.
I would like to change to a wireless gateway/router, hardwire the desktop to that and then use the wireless pc card and the usb adaptor to add the notebook and my sons desktop upstairs to the network.
My question is, will I no longer need a software firewall on at least the desktop that is wired to the router? But, will I still need to run software firewalls on the computers that will be connected via wireless adaptors?
Thanks,
