Hardware firewall recommendation...

Sorry for the lengthy intro but I wanted to make sure I covered all the
bases. I run my custom software business from my home. When cable modem
service became available some years ago I signed up. From the first day of
cable modem service I've had my network behind a hardware firewall
(currently using a Linksys broadband router which has a built in
"firewall"). I've decided to consolidate all my web "services" that are
hosted on outside hosting services and host them on my own, in-house server.
I'm upgrading my internet connection from residential to business class (I'm
a Comcast customer). The main service that I need to make available is my
website. The other "services" are all functions of my main website
(helpdesk software and file uploading to a password controlled area).
My question is, do I need to look at a more expensive firewall appliance or
is my WRT54G adequate to protect my system from outside intrusion? I know
I'll need to open an additional port or two for the new server, I just want
to know if I need additional protection. Thanks in advance...
Robert
