Hullo,

I to am searching for information on dropping the firewall on my mac. I don't appear to NEED to do this though because LimeWire says I have a "turbo-charged" connection speed. I notice however that LimeWire is detecting a firewall. Currently, I have disabled the firewall on my mac, have disabled the firewall on my Belkin router, and I (believe) have opened up port 6346 on the virtual server settings for the router. Incidently I didn't need to do any of this to have LimeWire working fine.

If I am able to use LimeWire with a "turbo" connection, does this mean all the ports LimeWire needs are open, and Limewire is simply detecting that I have a firewall but is not being bottlenecked by it?

Aloha, McH
