Type 192.168.1.1 in your browser to find out if you have a built in firewall.
Pure modems seldom have an integrated firewall.
Maybe you intended modem-router ?
In any case a software firewall on the pc gives the user much more fine grain control over the programs than a firewall included in the modem-router.
