    That can vary widely based on your networks needs. For protection from the
    internet you generally do not need to allow anything unless you are offering
    server services to users on the internet which could be your own employees.
    One way of telling for a host/software firewall is a test computer and
    enable logging for all traffic for the firewall. If an application or
    authorized access to the computer fails then you can view what traffic on
    what ports was denied and use that information to make adjustments to the
    firewall configuration. --- Steve
