Just installed a Dynalink RTA1025W broadband modem. It has a firewall
with it. I have a software firewall installed (Sygate Personal
Firewall Pro), will I still need to have it installed? Will the
firewall that my modem comes with be enough? Should I bother with
Windows XP's firewall?

You didn't need it before. So why would you need it now?

>Will the firewall that my modem comes with be enough?

Enough regarding what?

>Should I bother with Windows XP's firewall?

Since it's already there, why not?
