Since you are running Win2K, you could configure RRAS instead of ICS and improve your security that way. For free f/w I use the free version of Zone Alarm available from http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/zonealarm/znalm_detai ls.jsp and if you are looking for a free a/v soultion checkout http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_downl.htm?session=27b87c3a921bccc18d431d519a0 882c1 I use both of these and am very satisfied with them.

It's a free Linux firewall that is very good in my opinion. They have a great mailing list for support. Then go here http://www.ipcop.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/IPCop/IPCopDGHowto for Dan's Guardian a URL filtering application that works with IPCop. Then the W2K server and all workstations are protected. Just a thought.
