I don't want to serve just want to play port 21 is already open and I can't connect. Do I need to use the same port as the server port?
 
well you shouldn't have any problems connecting to any online servers unless its a firewall issue? Since your not hosting a server, you would be accessing a server just like opening up a browser and serving the web. :D
 
By default the client is also 27015.

I believe you can also set the port CS uses. Simply add "-port xxxxxx" to your CS shortcut after the -game cstrike. xxxx being the port you want CS to use.

Hope this helps!

Port 21 is an FTP Port, 80 is web services most games are in the thousands for port numbers. For future reference.
