Teresa, According to the IANA document on TCP port numbers [1], 0-1023 are well known port numbers and should not be used without registration. The document actually says that 1024-49151 need to be registered too. So it might be prudent to pick something above that.
There is a mozilla document[2] that describes their port blocking. There is a way to override it if desired by editing the prefs file. Turns out 101-104 are all on the blocked list.
