Hey Robert,

I suggest using Firefox with the Live HTTP Headers extension to see
which ports Firefox is attempting to use. The output is a little long
and hard to read...but you're used to that if you're editing iptables
;)

Just install the extension, turn it on, and make a request for the
page from outside the firewall. Then save the http headers to a text
file and review it to see which ports/protocols it is using. Some of
these systems use a dynamic port, though often it can be reduced to a
range of ports.

Cheers,
Greg
