finally getting cable internet have searched and looked with too many answers.
i have 3 computers 2-xp home 1-xp pro
i know i need a router the cable goes into it and the computers plug into the router.
Now which router is best to use and what about a firewall. i have the free Zonealarm on my computer and my son's hooked up to mine with a cross over cable ( only have dial-up now ) when he tries to connect to dial-up i have to shut down the zonealarm so he can. Will the cable internet and router act the same? or is the firewall in the router? sorry if this is a long question but i'm grafical and mechanical but still real new to this kinda stuff.
