Sky Router, does it have a firewall in it?

[link to this post]

Sister has sky broadband and no software firewall and not using windows firewall. Was woundering if the router has a firewall and if it was pre configured for her. Utorrent worked off the bat when i tryed the port test like.

So erm should i get zonealarm or somit for her? Or will the router be ok for her?

The Router has a firewall, however it would be a good idea to install Zone Alarm as a precaution. In addition it's good to know that Zone Alarm can be updated/patched as and when required.

Zone Alarm... Blah...

[re: helpmeplease] [link to this post]

I've removed Zone Alarm now from all my machines... Quite happy to sit behind the router's firewall, and XP's firewall...

ZA gave me problems on at least two of my machines :/
