Questions from a newbie

From: Prickle <prick@somewherecom>

My main pc is fitted with a NIC and hardwired to a Belkin Wireless Pre N 


Router, thence via an D-Link DSL-300T ADSL modem to the internet.


I am informed that I do not need a software firewall with this set-up .... 


Is that correct ?



Apart from my IP address and password all the settings are Router settings 


are the default values.


Is there anything I can tweak to improve performance or security ?



Regards & TIA
