function Add-NetshExcludedPortRange {
<#
.SYNOPSIS
    This function is used to add a specific starting and number of ports to the system.
    This is a very thing wrapper around the netsh tool for adding IPv4 ports.

.PARAMETER Start
    This is the starting port number.

.PARAMETER NumberOfPorts
    This is the count of ports in the given range.

.PARAMETER End
    This is the end port number when providing a range.

.EXAMPLE
    Add-NetshExcludedPortRange -Start 50 -End 55

.EXAMPLE
    Add-NetshExcludedPortRange -Start 50 -NumberOfPorts 6
