Which ports should be locked to prevent hackers

[somewhereintheworld]

I have windows XP and ProtectX for detecting hacker
connections.

Which ports I should blocked to prevent hacker from
attacking my computer?

Does windows XP have a feature for blocking some critial
ports to prevent hackers?

Thanks
