If you have a dsl line, then almost any home dsl/cable router will do the job. I like the Linksys routers, but some people swear by the netgear 314, or smc barricade. In other words, almost any router has the features you need to run a server at home.

amen blstriker
just about anything would work in your case. I run into those webramp 700s's all the time, or the linksys BEFSR41 is another good one, also the netgear rt314, a router is actually a fairly simple device.
if your looking at firewalls try the sonicwall, but i'm not sure how much money you have to kill
it sounds to me like all you really need is some small router....
