I agree with Mr G, out the box you will be able to do most things (depending
on the box of course) but if you are trying to get Windows Live Messnger,
file sharing or gaming to work fully then you may have forward some ports.


I really wouldn't suggest allowing Windows filesharing to be available
over the Internet. If you mean Bittorrent etc, then fine!
