Firewall setup for 24/7 server

I'm going to be setting up my fileserver/Geovision server soon.
Obviously it will be running 24/7. What is the best way to protect it
from outside intrusions?

I have a Vigor 2600. Would it be wise to use a Via 800 PC as a hardware
firewall with IPCop or something similar? ie.

ADSL line in > Vigor > Via PC (with firewall) > Switch to rest of
the
network

Ideally, I want to not have to install firewall software on all the PCs
I have on the LAN. I would also like to be able to access the Tivo from
outside.
