What are the TCP and UDP port numbers as specified in LimeWire's settings? When I go to limewires pref's and look up the advanced firewall "Listening Port" there is a number. Then when I go to OSX's system prefs and following directions make a new setting to allow a specific port, it gives me a box for both TCP and UDP to fill in. I've tried putting both numbers in and singly in each and still limewire does not connect- anybody got better info on this as limewire still thinks there is a firewall even though I have turned the firewall off. I'm connecting through a DSL cable modem to time/warner cable in LA. the modem is a motorola SB5120

I'm not a Mac user, so I'm not much good to you...check out the stickies in this section, or use the forum search to look for older threads

I know I'm daft but what are the TCP and UDP settings? Limewire has a default manual #6346 and then the "Listening port" # is 24926 Which of these do I enter in the sytem pref's under TCP and UDP separately? And I've gone to that pinging test page and it says: "Yes it works" Is there someone I can call because if I can't use this program I would like my $20 bucks back for the pro version.

Your UPnP settings will find a port that it thinks are not being blocked & this may change from time to time of use. Personally I nowadays don't even use my OSX firewall for LW. I very rarely have my OSX firewall turned on. Only when surfing suspicious sites. Simply enter the port numbers as recommended in your OSX firewall, unless advised otherwise.
