It sounds as if you want to run a multi-function machine.  I would suggest
that you do not do this.  If you run ports open that you don't really need
you maybe inviting trouble.

For a web server, I would suggest the following:

TCP Ports: 80, 443(SSL)
UDP Ports: 53 
IP Protocol: 7, 16

If the web server is serving static pages, try burning the site to R/O media
and running it from that location. 

Just my $0.02c worth.
