I’ve been using Zone Alarm firewall (free edition) for many years now in all security tests it comes up as all ports in stealth mode, so hackers don’t know you’re actually connected. The problem is I’m no longer using dial-up instead have a ADSL Ethernet Modem/Router- Hurricane 9200, it is now showing that ports 21, 23 80 are open as well as ping, the rest are showing as closed. I’m sure that beyond the router itself the ports on the computer’s own IP are still in stealth mode but hackers now maybe KNOW that there is a computer there somewhere because of the router responses.

How safe is my computer, should I change to a better firewall? Although other firewalls that I tried show the same ports open (which are on the router of course). I’m having some problems recently I’m thinking possibly I’m being targeted. All settings on the router itself were done by the telephone service operators.

Am I safe, what can I do?

My internet sucks, so I wanna use my schools internet to download some stuff. (no legal blah-blah-blah please….. I honestly don’t give a SHIT)

Here is how our network is currently set up:

InternetNetopia ModemSonicwall Firewall Box3Com BoardServer Workstations

I would like to add a wireless router somewhere in that map so that we can access our network and the internet wirelessly with company laptops.

I put the wireless router I bought both before and after the 3Com Board and the same problem always occurs… all PCs on the network lose internet access (but not network access). Also, it appears that whenever the wireless router is hooked up I am not able to access the Sonicwall Firewall Box via its IP address (it takes me to the wireless router’s page instead).

Does anyone know of a way to install this wireless router onto the network, remove the IP address conflict, and still have internet access?

Thanks!
@GTB:
A.1. No, our company paid a high priced consulting company to set it up.
A.2. I maintain it to the best of my ability to avoid having to pay additional support fees to said high priced consulting company.
A.3. Nope.
A.4. What device should I use?
A.5. The owners of the company asked me to do this because of A.2. above.

B.1. Can you explain this?
B.2. This too?
B.3. Same as B.2.
B.4. See A.5.

Thanks!
Clarification: The 3COM Board is a switchbox.
Additional Information: All ip addresses were manually assigned.

I have 4 computers connected to the same internet. I am using the main computer that is wired up to the router. every other computer are using a wireless internet chip.. so my question is..

should every computer turn on there own firewall or just mine

It is not Norton Personal Firewall or the Windows Firewall both of which have Limewire as an exception. Yet Limewire indicates the presence of a firewall. I have another computer using my connection via wireless. Could that be it and what do I do to remove the firewall?
