Keep in mind that separating the Internet from your internal network traffic is the default behavior of most firewalls. Since what you want to be able to do is access the Internet, probably the first thing you will do after installing a firewall is change the defaults and allow selected traffic through.

You can also duplicate a connection file, rename that duplicate file, and change the phone number in the Properties dialog box to create additional connections to your ISP's other POPs (or point of presence), which are connecting phone lines.

Do not enable Internet Connection Firewall (ICP) on any connection that does not directly connect to the Internet as it will interfere with communications with other computers on the network. For example, if you have a small office or home office network and each computer connects through a hub or gateway to the Internet, ICF should not be enabled.

The term "hacker" has become notorious to describe a person who breaks into a computer system without authorization in order to do damage (destroy files, steal credit card numbers, plant viruses, etc.). Originally, however, a hacker was someone who wrote detailed programming code in the sense that the person was sitting there "hacking away" at a large, boring chore. The original term for someone who commits the illegal act of breaking into a computer system without invitation is a "cracker", meaning someone who has some hacking skill but is using it to "crack into" a network, and in that sense being a criminal hacker. Because a cracker uses low-level hacker skills to do cracking, the terms cracker and hacker became synonymous. Sadly, today the term hacker is more commonly used to describe the malicious individual rather than the honest, hard-working professional who performs skilled computer work.
