Default Port and Firewalls Options

Hello,

I have a question about the 'port' and 'firewalls' option. Both have a place to put a port number in, but what's the differnce between the two? If I use a different port number in the 'firewalls' options do I need to put the same number in the 'port' option?

Also, I have a firewall that I configure port forwarding on. For best limewire useage should I configure my router to forward port 6346 to my local IP? If I do this what values should I put in 'port' and 'firewalls'? I assume that I just leave 'port' alone and check the 'force IP' option in 'firewalls'...

Thanks for your help,
Jonathan
