Do you have broadband?

If you do, the answer to the question "do I need a firewall?" is YES.

No broadband.

With dial up you don't need a firewall since you are assigned a new IP address everytime you connect. With broadband you lease and address for a period of time so it is important to know what is trying to connect out from your computer or into it.
