Hi.

if your running linux try something like
iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0 --syn -j REJECT
--reject-with tcp-reset

this way you get ALL the ports closed, even the local range ports and
still have a working connection, then open the ones you need to have
open. The --syn flag drops all packets that have syn bit enabled and 
ack bit not(these are the connection initiation packets).
