Solved: Just asking about Firewalls

whelm · 24-Feb-2008, 02:20 AM #1

Hi. I have two computers. One is connected to the internet and the other i connected to the internet through the first computer with ICS. I was wondering if the firewall on the first computer would protect the second computer as well or do i need to have both active

I don't know if ICS provides firewalling for its clients, but you can go to www.grc.com and use their ShieldsUP to do a test.

It probably would provide some level of protection, but having a firewall installed on the second machine would improve matters greatly.
