Essential Ports

[Blackstar_solar]

What do people consider to be ports that are essential for web access?

Obviously ports 80 and 8080 but anythign else?

I ask becuase a couple of my housemates are downloading huge files off the net all the time taking up all the bandwidth!!! and my router (which i admin ) has the ability to block port ranges at certain times of day.

So basically I want them to have e-mail, msn, irc, ftp and net access. Anything else? and which ports?

110 POP3 (Post Office Protocol, version 3)
443 HTTPS

8080 HTTP

How about you just speak to your housemates and explain, without resorting to stupid drastic (and childish) methods simply because you know how to?

Ohhh flaming...how original!

I already have, and they're still doing it! Hence not drastic or childish
