Hi project

You should be able to connect even without all the other settings if you were able to connect through OS9.

For the OSX firewall, you'll find the the "Gnutella/Limewire Port (6346)" preset shows up in a drop-list when you click the "new" button in Finder->Apple Menu->System Preferences->Sharing->Firewall.

For the router, you'll have to find its documentation (probably online): Look for a setting that allows your LW port to be "Forwarded" or "Mapped" to the address of your computer (internal IP). This can get complicated depending on how your router identifies your computer. If you can't find the documentation, post back with the model/version and maybe someone will be familiar with it.

The LW Preferences (Limewire->Options->Advanced->Port) should show 6346--it's the default--and the Firewalls setting should match. Check the "Force IP" and you should be good to go.

Hope that helps you get connected quickly. Do post back to help others.

Cheers
