Hmm,
Now this is interesting. I'd love to have this one put to
bed for ever and all. Some say you can run two firewalls for
double security,i.e. First ffirewall  to receive the packet
makes a drop or forward decision. If the packet is
forwarded, the next firewall makes a drop or forward
decision, hence better protection.  Some say no way as there
is no added security with running two firewalls. Norton and
MCAfee  say no, while XP's new sp2 firewall is tolerant of
third party firewalls. So what's the answer? 

Peter
