While it's not *perfectly* safe (what is?), it's safe enough
for me that I typically just enable my software firewall -
in other words your "windows firewall enabled" is good
enough for me.

I have switched to cellular broadband and have been pretty satisfied with it. I have used it this summer from Florida to Utah with no problems. Speed has benn OK for me but I don't do a lot of large file transfers.

The question I have regards security. How safe is my connection from intruders who might try to infiltrate my computer? Do I need to install firewall software like I used with my DSL connection? I am running Windows XP Home Edition, SP3, with the Windows Firewall enabled.

Thanks.
