Default Firewall/connections

Yesterday, I purchased a Mac for the first time (a new powerbook), and although the computer is wicked awesome, I am now limewireless. I tried the OSX suggestions on the limewire page to set up my firewalls as follows:
OS X FIREWALL:

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

However, on step 5, Gnutella/Limewire does not show up as an option. I tried making a new one with the reccomended TCP and UDP settings, but I still cannot connect to the network. So, here is my question: What am I doing wrong, and EXACTLY what should I write in the TCP and UDP boxes? Thanks you so much for any help you can provide to this mac 'noob'.

Trevor
