"With higher speed and a full-time connection to the net comes a price. A
static IP address opens up your computer to the world, leaving it vulnerable
to attack. To protect your home network you need to have some sort of
firewall protection and in many cases software just doesn't cut it.
Hardware-based firewall protection is finally becoming affordable for home
users, and I'm evaluating one of these products - Linksys' Instant Broadband
EtherFast Cable / DSL Router.
Linksys claims their EtherFast Cable / DSL Router with built-in 4 port
10/100 Switch will let up to 256 computers share your broadband connection,
protect your home network from unwanted intruders, and keep your 10mbps
cable modem from slowing down your 100mbps network. Does the EtherFast Cable
/ DSL Router do all this? Read on to find out."
