There are several scripts (check on freshmeat.net) that allow you to
switch on your machine, run the script, do every thing you would
normally do, shut down the script, and it would create a set of firewall
rules that you would need to allow you to do what you had just done.

This is not an end solution as others have stated, however it may give
you some where else to start from, so that you can get things running.

Just a thought.
