>Get a NAT, DHCP Router. I bought a dlink wireless router with firewall from Best Buy for about $150, I've set it up to block *all* incoming traffic, only allows connections from within and then from ports I approve. You just plug in your cable, there are 4 other network ports for PCs and you can have wireless as well if you want- allow $60 for a card, great if you want to sit watching TV while you work on your notebook.
