Browsers don't use ports i'm afraid.

Although if you're using Firefox and DSL try this.

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

Common misconception, its actually capped at 8 even though a lot of guides suggest 20-30. But anyway It is a very nice boost for firefox pages, especially on foreign sites or ones that are slow normally.

This depends on what router you are using

for e.g All i do is use the drop down list it provides under gaming and select g/w

or you can create a new rule in the DMZ

You may want to rethink that.

Browsers use ports just as every other program does.
HTTP is port 80
HTTPS is port 443
FTP is port 21

More ports: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...P_port_numbers

Also, for the tweaks you listed just use Firetune.
