Depends on a number of factors, not the least of which is how much one
paid for one's software.....
I'm a bit anal about my computer talking to people I don't know.

Well if you are running Windows XP Pro SP2 you go into the Control
Panel, select Security Center, click Windows Firewall at the bottom
of the panel, then click On.
If not you spend some money.
However most wireless routers have a firewall option built in also,
which is what I am running right now because it firewalls the whole
network.
I still like to know what's trying to get out......

It's been suggested that I install a fire wall, but I don't really know
what one is or how they work. So, what's a fire wall, how does it
work,
what are the pros and cons of using one, and where can I get one?
