to my knowledge, the firewall which requires the least knowledge of
ports and configuration tweaking is ZoneAlarm Pro. with ZoneAlarm, you
do not need to know port numbers. just simply choose Allow under the
column labeled Server Settings, on the line with your desired
application (whether Remote Desktop, Win/MSN Messenger, IIS for your
Web/FTP server, or whatever).

as indicated by the other responses, you have to break out a book and
start reading (or post messages asking for help) in order to figure out
proper port numbers (for Remote Desktop, Win/MSN Messenger, IIS for your
Web/FTP server, etc.), if you are using a hardware router/NAT device.
