Most routers made in 2005 or newer have integrated NAT, which is at least some form of protection.  Despite this fact, having a software based firewall is still a good idea.  I run everything through routers and port switches.  The chances of a security breach are slim, but I still use Windows Firewall.  I haven't had to use anything else, but then again I've been behind a router since the first day I upgraded from dialup so that might be why.........

EDIT:
I shouldn't be saying this seeing as I have a public server, but hardware based network security has never been my forte. :p

It is true that routers do have a built in firewall. Well not sure if that's true for all routers though.
