DO Roberts: A firewall will help, yes. It's not completely infallible, but someone would really have to want to hack into your system to get round it. Basically it's like putting a lock on your front door rather than having it wide open. It'll stop chancers that might just hop in, see a TV and take it, but it won't stop a professional burglar that's seen a 10 grand plasma screen TV through your window.
If you want to test how good your firewall is, go to www.grc.com and use their ShieldsUp test.
