Makes sense but I haven't done it do to an ignorance of which 
unprivileged ports need to be enabled for things like skype, IM etc.  
Does anyone have any recommendations as to where a list of ports used 
by programs like the above can be found or a restricted range of ports 
that has worked for you?

Thanks,
