Hi Why don't you just go to the system prefs click on sharing and
turn the firewall on that is built in to X. for the powerbook.
For the windows just install the router software on it, 9 out of
10 times the router will come with fire wall software then you can
configure the router via the windows box to let both powerbook and
windows laptop through. The powerbook will have double the protection
because if anything does get through the windows firewall it will
then be met by the OSX firewall aswell.
or is that not how the firewalls work someone who sets up mixed
networks all the time should chip in here as thats the way i have
mine set, so if i am wrong let me know.

Last week, we installed a wireless router for our Power Book (OS

software that is recommended or should be avoided?
Is there anything to keep in mind or to watch for when setting up
the firewall?
