Here's a really stupid idea, but you know how the network has properties tab? Why not add a open/closed ports tab, that only works in administrator accounts (or enabled accounts)?
This would make it easy to find, and make another link in the control panel for those that aren't familuar with 2000/XP. You could just enable the ports it's allowed to work on, and it could even tell you which programs tend to use which. :)

As far as adding a speed limiting option, let's leave that upto the network limiting companies.
