I just hooked up my Linksys 4 port cable/dsl router which is supposed to have some sort of built in security. I am wondering if it's necessary to continue using the firewall I had been, zonealarm.

Also, I use aol instant messenger.. would this router's security stuff prevent the direct connection from working?
