Hi, I use Tiny Personal Firewall on my dev. machine, its exceptionally good program and has a very small memory print (less than 2mb, which is good for Laptops / PCs that have less than 64MB RAM).
Its also pretty easy to setup and use. I set mine up to allow only programs I want to access the net to access it and I block everything else (including ICMP [0] Echo Reply, which is often used in Smurf DoS). Hope this helps in some way...
