How often is the firewall software on your router updated?  

If some new hole is discovered, how fast will they fix it?

Does your router firewall have an Orange zone for your servers?

How about a Blue zone for your wireless network?  And I suspect a wireless
network is in most of our future...both at work and at home.

If the router firewall works with IP Cop, then use both.  Otherwise I'd turn off
the router firewall and use IPCop.  Of course, that's my opinion and worth what
you are paying for it <g>.

And you don't really access anything from the IPCop box.  Everything is via your
browser on your PC inside the firewall.
