I have just recieved my first router (dl524) and was able to set it up
and get it working without any hitches. From my understanding this
router comes with a built in firewall!!! and if id does why when i go
into the firewall setting its asking me to purchase Zone Alarm Pro?
Does this mean i dont have the protection i thought?

From a cursory view on the Dlink web site it looks like you have the
basic NAT type firewall. They are trying to sell you Zone Alarm Pro
because they have a relationship with them. I would just use the free
Zone Alarm.
