On Friday my local Cable company(Armstrong) will becoming to install cable modem net access to my computer.

I am in need of advise for 2 type of programs:

1) What is the best program out there to use as a gateway server for a network, as I have a home LAN and wish to give 
    my parents access from their computer.

2) What is the best type of security program out there to keep out unwanted intruders(hackers and the like), but will still allow for an
  FTP server to run.

Thanks in advance for your help!
