That's the number for incomming and outgoing port ranges...That number is the number you can make up...I use 12020, but another popular number is 64049...
So you need to enter (the number you have chosen) in the TCP and the UDP boxes, remembering it's the same number for all boxes...

Also once you have done that make sure you enter (that same number) in the Listening Port box in limewire as well as selecting the manual port forward option...

Just check that you haven't got that file in your incomplete folder in your Limewire library...

can get as far as filling out the global port range which is 2 boxes of numbers. and the base port number. what numbers do i use?

also why cant i just enable the UPNP, the universal plug n play option?
im running limewire 4.10.0 pro and my modem is a westell 6100

From looking at those portforward instructions, I'd say you enter the port you've chosen for LW into both the port range boxes (because you're only forwarding a single port) for TCP & then again for UDP...the instructions only tell you to add ports into those boxes so I guess you leave the base port box blank.
