Also, check out ...
http://www.sharethenet.com ($70) for a simple to install one-diskette
boot firewall.
Another one is (I think) edge.fireplug.net (free).
Although I have rolled my own several times, these are good for quick
installs, and do the trick. The sharethenet one is nice - creates the
disk under Winders, and once booted, is managed via browser.
No affiliation with either, just an admirer.
