QuickBooks 2013 manual firewall ports or use the QB File Doctor to fix

In a Windows 8 environment for an office in San Diego the following firewall ports need to be open. The list below is painful, so we downloaded and ran the QuickBooks File Doctor. That too took 10 minutes to run and ultimately said the file was fine, but in reality it added 6 exceptions to the firewall.

OR - you can do it the manual way here!

The following files access through your firewall on ports 80, 8019, 56723, and 55353 through 55357 for both incoming and outgoing traffic:
