Local Ports are assigned randomly, the way they are unique on the loal
machine. Usually this is done by assigning for each outgoing connection the
next port. This assignment may start above 1024. Reserved Ports are only for
receiving/listening, not for binding to send data. In your Firewall Rules
you need to distinguish between incoming and outgoing connections.
Youshould realy read a good bok on TCP/IP before you start to configure a
packet filter. Most probably the filter is not secure that way, or won't
work.
