    You are correct. There appears to be an error in the KB article. Almost
    always one port will need to be any to accommodate the over 1024 port that
    the client will randomly use. In the KB article there is a send feedback
    option that you could use to send to them your findings but don't expect
    immediate results. Good job! --- Steve
