I wouldn't run another software firewall with Norton. Although some people have success with this Norton products tend not to like working with other software. Better off getting a router with a hardware firewall built in, I think these are a little more to setup but will give you better protection.
I've asked on several forums and have yet to see anyone prove the benefit of multiple software firewalls running at the same time. To me if you have 2 programs running at the same time, trying to do the same job its just asking for trouble. As far as which version of windows for a server, I don't think any one will recommend 98/ME over XP but you will probably here a few votes for win2K.
