Do I need to setup the proxy server?

[Digerati]

I am running WinXPpro connected to the internet via a cable modem and roadrunner.

My computer is networked with another XP machine and one win98se machine via a Dlink cable router/switch.

My question is, the router has a built in firewall, and I was wondering if I need to setup the proxy option in my programs (ie. IMchat, webcam, gamespy, etc)?

My chat programs work fine and I havn't really tried internet games yet, just wondered if the firewall made the proxy setup necessary.

Thanks!

No

Hardware Routers use Network Address Translation (NAT) and do not require any proxy settings
