Default Need help with OS X sharing/firewall

Just bought new Intel Macbook with OS X 10.4.7. Trying to configure settings per Connections FAQ, but can't find port name 'Gnutella/Limewire' per these instructions:

To open the OS X Firewall for Gnutella access, please do the following:
Open up 'System Preferences'
In 'Internet & Network', open 'Sharing'.
Select the 'Firewall' tab (your Firewall should be on)
Select 'New...'
From the 'Port Name' drop down box, select 'Gnutella/LimeWire'
Select 'OK'
Restart your LimeWire application.


I do not have this selection on the drop down list.

I'm using the Basic LimeWire client v 3.3.5.

Any help with setting up the Firewall Port settings would be appreciated.

Lots of experience in Windows enviroment and used Limewire/Bearshare etc but total newbie with Macs.

Thanks,
velomoo
