this should be the standard dynamic port range for linux.  to change this:
(it is 1024-4999 by default) 

redhat 6+ - /etc/sysctl.conf : net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 32768 60099
others - (I think it is) echo "32768 60099" >
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range

don't forget to change your firewall rules appropriately.  on my masq boxes
I have something like:
# eth0 = public

# allow return tcp packets from connections we init
/sbin/ipchains -A input -i eth0 -p tcp ! -y -j ACCEPT

# allow UDP return packets.. its more dangerous, but we like games :)
/sbin/ipchains -A input -i eth0 -p udp ! -s masq.network.goes.here/24 -d
public.ip.goes.here -j ACCEPT
