Hi Sonic,
It works for me. I'm talking about the router with the NAT firewall built in. If you have the block WAN request option selected, it gives you stealth (at least on TCP). I've had people scan me with nmap and they didn't get a thing.

Nothing is 100%
If I were you I would get Sygate and use that as your primary firewall. Then use norton as your secondary/Backup firewall. To be super safe set up norton antivirus as well. This way if anything does get throw antivirus will find it and kill it...
