mac osx 10.3.9...help
seems i need to open my firewall manually to connect to the internet.ive followed the instructions but the last one is
'Enter the TCP and UDP port numbers as specified in LimeWire's settings'

is this the same as my 'listen on port number' which i have from my settings in limewire...but this is only a 5 digit no...mmm well confused i am.do i need my firewall in my preferences on or off?
Do I aslo need my internet sharing on or off .....lordy lordy.....

Make them all the same. The listen on port, the portforward port, the TCP and UDP. Be sure to setup a static ip first: PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall

Nice 1 Mr Pac,Ive downloaded the Ip static thing,do i need 2 do anything else regarding that?And regarding breaking fixed things I think im excelling at that 1...Firewall wise in my osx 10.3.9 preferences do i need firewall on but allow incoming network communication to my limewire port,what about internet sharing?on/off....cheers..

Personal file sharing is for networking with nearby computers & equipment.

The most important thing about the osx firewall setting is you have the limewire/gnutella setting. The port numbers may change from time to time if you are using UPnP. So use the default should be fine afaik. If you port forwarded your modem/router then use same as those.

Personally I rarely use my osx firewall. Unless I'm browsing places I am suspicious of.

BTW sorry for the very late response.
