FC comes with a tool for configuring the firewall - if you go to the System menu, Administration, Security Level and Firewall, you'll get a GUI that allows you to change some of the more rudimentary aspects of the firewall. You could use this to open up the ports you wish, but, that would probably mean adding 100 rules (I don't think this GUI understands port ranges, I could be wrong).
It does. If you go into the "Firewall Options" tab, there's a section at the bottom labeled "Other ports." If you expand this, you can click the "Add" button to its right, and in the entry for port(s) you can specify a range by entering the beginning and ending port numbers separated by a hyphen ("-").
