    We use netgear switches on all our oiltankers, I just don't have any experience with their routers. The install went smooth; same with the firmware upgrade. So far things are looking great. Any recommendation on a need to keep Zone Alarm? Is it just overkill or a good practice?

    I still run it on all my PCs. Maybe I'm paranoid but I figure if I get some kind of wierd Trojan on my PC that wants to send out me Credit Card info to sdome Russian haxx0r site Zonealarm might just stop it.

    I'm currently running a Netgear Switch and a Netgear Router.. Had the switch for about 3 years now, not a single problem.. mainly the reason I went with them for the router (plus the $50 rebate).

    I give credit to JD and his mad skillz going the old school route. What he's really trying to say is that they don't sell Netgear in Can-A-Nadia and he just won't cough up the money for Linksys.
