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'
<...>
Trevor | Assuming you run 10.4, on 'New...', choose 'other' for port name, enter 'LimeWire' or whatever is useful, then you will have 2 fields to enter TCP and UP port number. Both be filled with 6346. Then click all the OK's there are and refire your app. Don't be afraid to experiment with your mac, it is very forgiving. |
