Default port location & name?

I've read that I should go to System Prefs/Sharing/Firewall to set the port name & number from the "new" pulldown menu. I have NO Gnutella/Limewire choice. It further says to select 'other', enter a name and port number (or range). When I do this, I cannot change the "other" to Gnutella/Limewire. How do I get the selection "Gnutella/Limewire"??

Last evening my Limewire Pro 4.9.37 finally connected, albeit slowly, and I tried to re-connect 5 times. The 1st 3 were successful, since then total failure. (iMac G5, OS 10.4.2, Java 1.4.2_07) and I've tried all the solutions offered in the forum. Before it connected, I had repaired permissions and ran Disk Warrior 3.0.3.

BTW, when I connected, I checked and found a 5 digit port listed (duh, I didn't write it down). I had been using 6346. That's a TCP port, I have none entered in the UDP port number. Should I??? TIA, Jack
