I am overseeing our local network at the church offices (10pc's and SBS2003) and at present use the routers (Netgear) builtin firewall. How secure is this? and if not what can you suggest I do? I have read a little about IPCop but am wonering if a seperate firewall for our small network is overkill.
Sugestions and comments please
 
Should be fine - but it wouldnt hurt to activate any software firewalls you have available on your PCs.
 
Microsoft SBS2003 has a good built-in firewall, just enable it in the "server management" console under "connect to the internet". Coupled with the Netgear router firewall you effectively have two firewalls.

A third firewall (IPCop) is overkill.
