Default Port Blocking

My sister has been causing problems with my home network by running LimeWire constantly with multiple (large) downloads at once. I have talked to her on several occasions, but that did nothing to help these problems. I am using a Linksys Wireless Router and I am trying to block the port(s) to LimeWire so that my sister can no longer connect to it. I blocked 6346, and tested it on my computer and LimeWire connected instantly, so obviously that didn't work.

My 2 questions are. 1. What ports do I block to prevent LimeWire from connecting? 2. What port can I set for my usage? (She isn't smart enough to figure out how to change the port to connect to.)

Thanks
