Get norton personal firewall. It allows you to customize it to allow more
complex setups.
However, if you're using a cable modem and two lan cards, just get a
broadband router. It has NAT firewall, plus stateful packet inspection.
Also, sharing internet is A LOT more easy and reliable. It also lightens
the load on the computers, since it has firewall, which allows you to
uninstall your software firewalls.
