how can i filter internet traffic?

Question

I have a home network set up.  I have Dell Dimension 8400 w/ XP SP2 and a Dell 2350 broadband router as the primary computer.  I need to be able to filter the traffic from all the networked computers accessing the internet.  I have Norton 360 but other than than I just have the standard Windows XP firewall.  I don't really want to pay a subscription service like NetNanny.    Two of my computers are on XP SP2, one is on W2K, and one is on W98 (my have to upgrade this one).   Do a need a different kind of router?  Or is there a different kind of firewall I can install?
