guidance sought

I have a home network using a Linksys WAG54G router, WEP enabled, all computers using Win XP (some Pro, some Home). I surf, email, download from bona-fide sites, usenet (text only).

There is reference to the router having a built in firewall and it is active.

I also have the Win XP firewall active on all computers.

From browsing and asking questions in this group I have removed software "firewalls".

So two questions now - i) is the router's firewall sufficient and ii) could someone point me to references that will guide me through the XP settings to maximise security from attack and control outgoings.

Thanks
