Yes, I echo, the Win XP built-in Firewall is the *best* option; Uncheck
*all* Programs and Services under the Exception tab.
Read through:

Using Windows Firewall.

Consider using Windows Firewall in conjunction with:
Seconfig XP 1.0
http://seconfig.sytes.net/
Seconfig XP is able configure Windows not to use TCP/IP as transport
protocol for NetBIOS, SMB and RPC, thus leaving TCP/UDP ports 135, 137-139
and 445 (the most exploited Windows networking weak point) closed.)
Good luck
