Keep it simple - use your existing router for everything and connect your fileserver as simply another client. Use a professional OS on the fileserver such as Win2K Pro or XP Pro - or possibly Linux - and use its builtin security features. I'm using a Linux box on my Linksys router for exactly that, and I have several small business customers using Win2K Pro for that purpose too. You don't need a server OS with less than 10 clients, 2K or XP Pro will work fine in workgroup mode, no need to deal with a domain.
