Got a Linksys BEFSX41 Router/Firewall

Okay, I had a $50-off "Reward" card and an additional 15%-off coupon from Office Depot and I didn't really need anything. So... I bought a Linksys BEFSX41 Router/Firewall to play with on my 8 machine network at home (4 2003 servers, 4 XP workstations). I already have a "real" network firewall but I wanted to take a look a this Linksys for possible recommendation to home users with minimum needs.

Looking for some hints on config of this thing. From what I see, it is easy enough to block specific protocols and IPs, but how can I block "everything" (all TCP/UDP ports) and then specify only what I want to allow? Is there a way to do that on this Linksys?

Thanks,

-Frank
