See if that helps any. Pay attention to to the section on rules (p 16) and group policy. You can set a local group policy in the same manor as you would in active directory. Just make sure you are using the MMC snap in. You have advanced settings there that are not available in the windows firewall in the security panel. That is one thing that I wish MS did not do. It should be all in one place.
I will tell you what I am running at home. I am behind a hardware firewall and also running ISA server. That is overkill for the home user but it is how I learned the new ISA server.
