I'm a Windows advocate but I will try to stay neutral and not to engage in product favouritism.

 

I'm gonna suggest that you play safe: only turn on the linksys router firewall. If you turn on the Windows firewall, your computer is going to have some problems accessing certain websites.

 

(Sidenote: I'm going to assume that you are using the Internet for simple stuff; none of the P2P and file-sharing sort? If the latter is true then your privacy can be compromised even with this abovementioned firewall setup)
