Creating a simple FireWall?

Fire Starter

Hi, I have a broadband connected via Ethernet.

If I want to set up a FireWall using a Cisco 803 Router b/w the Cable Modem and the Ethernet port of the PC, what are the necessary steps.

Thank you.

First, you need the IOS firewall feature set on your router. If you have that, check out this link:
