Could you not use windows tcp/ip network filtering?

Go to network properties (control pannel - network), then properties of the
connection in question. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) then properties,
then advanced, then the options tab at the top. Then select TCP/IP Filtering
and you can enable filtering there.

E.g. Permit only port 25 (email-smtp), 80 (www), 445 (www-ssl) etc..

Might save you buying a personal firewall.

Hope this helps
