Very bad. That shows that your using an unencrypted connection to your

There are also some known unpatched vulnerabilities in Windows XP.

Doesn't matter. IE has never been intended to be used as a webbrowser,
and no configuration will help.

Doesn't matter.

Why? If you don't need routing, why using a router?

Windows Firewall is a pretty good host-based packet filter, no need to
resort to a lousy one with a lot of crap added.
