You don't need to run a firewall on the PCs to protect them if you are connecting to the Internet through a router like the Linksys. That acts as a physical firewall between your network and the internet. There are more expensive routers that have their own firewall software if you need to do very complicated stuff like having certain ports blocked and others open, or running a public Web server from your network. If you are going to avoid using a router and just do connection sharing from one of the PCs, then you need a good software firewall like ZoneAlarm which is free and also very good.
