>Will access to ports 6346-6348 through the firewall suffice or is a more sweeping range required ?

If you're using a firewall / router, it must be set to forward UDP packets as well as TCP packets on the normal gnutella ports.

At home, for example, I have port 6666 set up to forward to 6666 to my computer, and have LimeWire set to listen on port 6666 as well as 'Forced IP' checked with 6666 as the port.

If I had the firewall set up to listen to 6666 and forward to 6346, I'd have LimeWire listen to port 6346 and have 'Forced IP' checked with 6666 as the port.

re stief: I don't recall anything specific changing with uploads, although we do tinker with code ... we'll take the credit, but I'd suggest calling up and thanking your ISP also.

re limenut: Just fixed that. Thanks for the heads up.
