Get a firewall, hardware firewall is preferable

Is there any branch of hardware firewall you would
recommend for small business?

Thank you for the advice

Hm....Depends on your budget. At home I use a Linksys router - not ideal
for a small business, but if you might want to look into ISA server

Sygate Pro Firewall ( software firewall ) is very stable.

Altho if you just want to block some port , go into your
network adapter > ipconfiguration > ipfilter.

The ip filtering actually is to allow inbound initiated ports based on what you
have listed - not block. Ip filtering is best used as another line of defense to
a dedicated server such as a web server. It lacks any sort of logging or the
ability to block outbound access. The Sygate Pro would be well suited for that.
Also the Netgear Pro Safe line of router/firewalls are an excellent choice for
home or small office. The have a model for as little as $75. For larger networks
something like the Sonic Wall Soho3 or Netscreen 5XP are good choices. --
