Thanks to all for the prompt replies. I've turned off NIS. Is the basic
hardware firewall that comes with my Linksys router plus the Windows
firewall in XP sufficient or should I be looking at other programs?

Since it's already sufficient without all of this, it's obviously sufficient
with all of this. So why the question anyway?

Sufficient against what?

What are you trying to achieve?

What Linksys router do you have? The XP FW is performing the same function
of the router, which is to stop unsolicited inbound traffic. If the router
can stop outbound traffic by setting rules, then you can supplement the
router with the XP FW. If the router cannot stop outbound traffic, then dump
XP's FW and use Norton, because with Norton, you can set rules to stop
outbound traffic from leaving the computer if you had to stop outbound
traffic.

Sufficient for what?

If we're talking about packet filtering for you at home, this usually
is enough.
