It really depends on what you are running on your network as to what ports need to be block. I would take a look at this link to find the port numbers for the apps that are accessed throught the internet if there are any.

The first port i would block would be 139 and 137
these are your netbios ports if you are running a web or FTP server then you will need 80 and 21 open. It really depends on what apps are accessed through the net. The best practice is if the port is not being used to block all incoming traffic from the port. Most firewalls automatically block ports unless you specifically open them

It looks like you are running NT for your web server, and I would guess that you do have a firewall enabled (since ICMP packets are rejected).
Some more details on what problems you are experiencing will help determine a solution.
Good luck.
