Let me cut to the bottom line. The claims are false since the firewall functions were never defined. In short, what was the specifications for said firewall?
If you don't have such, then you can't determine if firewall A or B was better in some manner.

I have Windows XP, and using a Sygate Firewall. I have heard that a hardware firewall is better than a software one. Appreciate any suggestions of what type to buy, ie: is this what is called a "router"?
