Network security ...

Okay, so I have this home network right?

what security do I need. Have a physical router to begin with ... but other than that, what security features should I have?

Anyone volunteer to help out?

Read up on your router. Odds are that most of them provide firewalling which will stop most of your problems, including port-scanning. If you start deliberately poking holes in that firewall, then you'd best firewall the computers which can be accessed through those individual holes. (There are a number of free and workable software firewall systems).
