In a couple of months, I will be adding a secondary PC and I intend to use a router to share my high-speed cable connection.
I understand, however, that the router acts as a physical firewall and thus I would not need to use my software firewall (Norton Internet Security).
If this is true, I wish to expediate the purchase of the router, since NIS is determined not to let my Outlook 2002 check for email. This is a most frustrating problem. I figure if I get the router I can get of NIS once and for all.
So, I put it to you experts - what should I look for in a router? Is there a particular model I should seek out?
And on a side note...anybody know how to deal with this NIS/Outlook conflict in the interim?? It's driving me bonkers.
