Also check out the SMC line and their Firewalls and Router boxes. Sonic Wall, Cisco and others are also worth checking into. Ask your Cable people, (if they will tell you,) what they might recommend... Also- if you have broadband, it is a little known feature of Windows (to end-user broadband customers anyway)that you can have a desktop short-cut that will disconnect you from the network, giving hackers a smaller "window of opportunity" to access your computer. This disconnect causes your IP to be unaccessable. Unfortunately I have heard that some services, like @HOME, don't allow this for some reason... It doesn't hurt to also use Norton's Personal Firewall. I have heard that it isn't that good of protection, but it is an EXCELLENT Firewall learning tool. You will discover the MANY WAYS hackers can get into your computer that you never knew existed. Chat Rooms are some of the WORST places (or BEST) for getting Hacked and Trojanized...
