hardware firewall, not software
Skip the software firewall and get a router. A hardware firewall is the only way to be certain (well, as certain as one can reasonably be) that your computer is safe from intruders. Once you have a real firewall (either a router or a dedicated computer) you can open up the computers that are behind it and share files, printers, etc. Routers with a 4 port switch are about $70 now. I have a linksys and haven't had any problems with it, but there may be better ones out there.
Search the forums, I think we've answered this question before.

An FRC team's success should not be measured in how many robots it can build or how many blue banners it can collect. It should be measured by how many engineers (and other professionals) it 'builds'. - jvriezen [more]
