All firewalls will interfere, thats their job, thats what they do. They intefere with stuff in order to stop things happening. Any firewall that doesn't is going to be useless, so just spend a few hours when you get it setting it up, be prepared to have to clear the odd game or port/range occasinoally.
I'd say if you can get a smoothwall, basicly you use a very simple basic spare parts computer with this modified linux install on it(smoothwall) as a firewall/NAT. It's effectively a hardware firewall for a tiny price, worth looking into.
Sygate Personal Firewall is free and seems to do the job.
