laptop hardware firewalls

I have a netgear hardware firewall for my desktop.
Is the equivalent for a laptop a device you install 'within' the pc or an external device similiar to an antenna?

There are basically only 2 kinds of firewalls....hardware and software. Whether it's a laptop or desktop doesnt matter. Also, dont confuse a router with a firewall.

instant notifications

Thank you-
Any idea why I did not get your reply by instant notification when I have it set to the default to do so? I have never had this problem before and advised the web master. Other sites such as Dell Community Forums etc are sending them so I think all is ok on my end.
