i would consider all your macines to be at risk without a firewall on the 'ics' box, i would recommend what i use in a similar setup which is mandrake single network firewall (snf) but i admit i'm used to cable modems which are simple ethernet setups, i don't know about dsl modems so i can't say for sure that it is easy to setup, there are limitations to snf, netmeeting on windows for onething has problems since it uses dynamically assigned ports, there are other firewalls like 'smoothwall', and of course there must be windows products, there is no point relying on zonealarm on individual boxes when you have a local gateway that could do the job better, plus you could then set up sharing between boxes on the lan without exposing yourself to the net, right now if you allowed windows sharing between boxes you expose yourself beyond your network
