I’ve had DSL for a couple of months now and I have 2 questions that have to do with my IP address.
When I do an IPCONFIG/ALL, I see that my address is 10.0.0.something. I understand that this means that I have a private address and must be behind some sort of NAT device from my ISP.
-
Do I still need a firewall? I’m running Zone Alarm but I wonder if it’s really necessary. It tends to interfere when I connect to my company’s VPN.
-
Will I be able to use wireless router with a private address so that I can run my laptop in my bedroom. My modem is in the living room.
Any answers or suggestions (hardware included) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Kevin
