I prefer the lynksys router/firewall. Simple to use and does not respond to
port probes, but rather drops the unwanted/unathorized packets. Many
software firewalls will "refuse" connections. I find more comfort in the
firewall ignoring the probes rather than a refusal. Never let your opponent
know your there. Showing your firepower can reveal vulnerbailities.
