Firewall issues

I have started my server, and found it on the global server list. But, there's a little problem. My server hsot has a firewall, and I can't seem to connect to the server. Well, I was wondering if anyone here know which ports should be opened to the server in order to work probably...?

I've been looking around the net, and on the Freelancers sites, but couldn't find anything that brought my attention. I've taken the server offline until I get the problem fixed.
