Hi Bernd,
what you are looking for is commonly called a "Border router" it provides a
level of filtering to constrain what protocols can arrive at the firewall
itself...
Its pretty easy to set up.. depending on what WAN router you are using
right now to manage your internet connection it can probably do it right now.
I know bay and cisco can do it and I think 3com can too..
feel free to ask more if you like.
Cheers,
Bret
