I noticed that XP has a Firewall option for network connections.
Is this just as good as the third party stuff (ie Norton Personal Firewall) ?

Probably not...you'd be better off either using a router or something like ZoneAlarm.
It does not stop outbound internet access (like trojans attempts, etc). Lots of people see that as a bad thing.
get zonealarm as filburt said. it is the best firewall out there (free too!)
Thanks, I got zone alarm installed.
can't seem to access some URLs with it enabled though. Guess I need to play with the settings.
Thanks again!
Also run teh Ad-Aware...
