Yes-the preset setting for LimeWire/Gnutella (6346) is not present in Panther and Tiger on my machines.

Looks like Jaguar is the last OS X to have the preset. That means the LW help page and Tip of the Day need to be updated.

No matter--it's easy to create the setting as LOTR has kindly shown.

Actually, the setting isn't even necessary as it looks like the OS X Firewall is "Off" by default. The setting is only needed when the user turns the Firewall "On."

Could others check? Is the Firewall turned "On" or "Off" by default, and which systems have the preset "LimeWire/Gnutella (6346)"?

Thanks
