Default OS X firewall instructions are wrong.

On this page (http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml) there are instructions for configuring an OS X firewall. Maybe that worked on early versions, but it doesn't apply to 10.4.

The instructions say:

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'
6. Select 'OK'
7. Restart your LimeWire application.



When I go the the Firewall preference pane, and click new, there is NO Gnutella/Limewire option, nor any other P2P option. I can create a new one, but I'd need to know what to put in the TCP and UDP boxes.
