in sort.... both
long version..... the router does NAT (network address translation) which is why you get a special LAN IP (192.168.2.100 or something). the NAT is a natural firewall. Having a software firewall on your computer also is totally useless unless you are so dumb that you purposly install viruses and like to open attachments from random e-mails that look like viruses. Also... actually a firewall wont really stop viruses, but it will stop worms (kinda like a virus). Anyway.... the NAT stops worms too cause the router will just ignore the crap since it doesn't know where to send it and no one asked for it. If you have stupid Zone Alarm or the retarded mcafee firewall just uninstall the POS, you computer will thank you.
