Basically if you don't open any ports in the router you should be fine.

If you plan on opening any ports, then it would be smart to add a software firewall.

But overall, adding a software firewall won't hurt.
Just another program to configure. :)

Actually, the more I think of it, it would be better to run a software firewall as well.
If you were infected with a trojan, the software firewall would alert you. :)

What's a good firewall to get? One that works with both PC and MAC?

Im not sure you will find one that will work on both, for PC a good(AND FREE) one is zonealarm, www.zonealarm.com It is pretty easy to setup and use although can be difficult sometimes, overall a good product though.
