Adding Cable Broadband firewall to my current network

I have a 8 port switch connected to 6 computers on a Windows 2000 server network. What is the best way to install a Netscreen 5xt firewall that will be connected to the internet?

Thanks for the info!
I did look at smoothwall also and it looks like a fit, but the question was dealing with the already available equipment.
