opening a range of ports on vista

[Broni]

You can do it that way as well.

so i can open unlimited number of ports manually in my windows firewall exceptions list and it will work, also would the same port number go in the inbound and private port colloms?

No, this is not what I'm saying. Router's ports have to be opened as well.

Yes.
