Personally, I feel the protection need is still there. On my WinXP and WIn2000 machines with IIS, I use Linksys router/firewall, and ZoneAlarm Pro.
ZoneAlarm will tell you about outgoing request also, so you can spot any Trojans calling home. Zonealarm has a home free version.

This is what I think, not necessarily what is accurate!

| I am setting up a simple single ftp and website on my DSL-
| connected (static IP) W2K Workstation Pro using IIS 5. I
| will have all service packs and security hotfixes
| installed and will use Windows Update to dynamically
| install any new critical updates as they appear. I intend
| to follow the security practices outlined for installing
| IIS 5 contained in the pertinent MS KB docs.
|
| My question is: "Do I really need, in addition, a firewall
| of the PC desktop type available from Symantec, BlackIce,
| and a number of other vendors?"
|
| Researching this issue on firewall vendor websites isn't
| much help. In fact, Symantec states outright that they
| will not technically support their desktop firewall on a
| system running IIS 5.
|
| Any and all advice would be appreciated.
