Master Baggins: I went through the steps of setting up a static IP address for my PC and found that i already had one. the next step sticks in my craw, though. PFConfig wants over $20.00 to automatically port forward my router, but also gives step by step instructions on how to do this manually. the catch is that you need to open limewire to determine which port it uses for incoming connections. if i could open limewire, i would probably be happily sharing files with the rest of the gnutella network at this very minute.any idea which port it uses? also, i disabled windows firewall via the control panel because i have heard that it is bad to operate 2 firewall's simultaneously. i am going to do some research on this, however, as i can find no mention of a firewall in McAffee's user's manual
