Default Firewall blocking access to port 6346

Hi. I'm using LimeWire 1.8c, and it works fine on my dial up connection from home. But, when I'm in the office, LW won't connect when started. I don't even get a prompt from my FireWall asking me for my ID & password. At first, I tried switching to a different port, 80 and 8000. I got the FW prompt, but still LW wouldn't connect. Then, I checked my firewall logs, and I can't even see a reference to port 6346. I'm an Administrator, and have access to edit the firewall rules, but I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing with our firewall. (The guy who used to know all about it left the company.) Any suggestions? Thanks!
