After much trial and error I was able to isolate what ports are used for Manual IP hosting in Fleet Ops. With these ports open or forwarded you will be able to host games successfully. If your are unsure of how to open or forward ports on your modem/router PortForward.com has some excellent guides.
The one thing I was not able to ascertain was which ports only needed to be TCP versus UDP. However, most modems/routers allow you to choose a TCP/UDP option. For sake of simplicity, I chose this option.
@Dominus_Noctis: Is this something you could include in your guide? I think that it may be beneficial to anyone who has struggled to host games. I searched Google extensively and could not find a single source that listed all of the correct ports. You're guide could be that source!
