First where are you trying to access this machine from?  Local LAN or the 
Internet?  If it is local LAN  then why not trust the machine that is trying 
to connect instread of opening  a bunch of ports?  That is how I do things at 
home.  Local machines are trusted so they can connect anytime on any port.
