Just run a personal firewall and put your computer on a unroutable NAT address unless you know you want to run your system as a server.

Running NAT will make your system invisible to almost all attackers. Any good personal firewall will do the rest.

Personally, I think running a home windows machine on an external address is just asking for trouble, unless you really know what you're doing. Many of the new exploits don't even need human intervention (like clicking on an outlook message).
