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?
