I have the xp firewall enabled, so do I need to use the router's built in
firewall for my wireless network?

You need to enable the router's protection abilities including its FW. You
can use a personal FW behind the router if you like but you need to enable
the router's FW to protect the network.Again, get on the phone with the
router's tech support and let them help you.

Yes, you should still use your router's firewall. The router's firewall
is designed to protect your entire network, while the XP firewall only
protects an individual PC.
