Question Firewall Settings And Sharing

I'm sorry to post a repetitive note. Once again, I'm trying to get the set-up right for sharing files behind firewalls. From reading other posts I have figured out most of it. I am using Mac OSX 10.2, LimeWire 4, a D-Link router, and cable internet. Under Sharing in the OSX Firewall Sharing I set "New" and then chose the Gnutella/Limewire (6346) check box. I'm assuming Personal File Sharing and Personal Web Sharing do not need to be enabled. I am also unsure how to configure the settings on the router. It has a page for setting up a "Virtual Server". Would these be the correct settings? In the field "Private IP" I would put my IP address. In the "Protocol Type" field I would put TCP/UDP. In the "Private Port" field I would put 6346. In the "Public Port" field I would put 6346. Does this sound correct? The Firewall Rules would be enabled to allow traffic from, "WAN IP Range" (my port #) to "LAN IP Range" (my port #) and the "Protocol" set to TCP. Would the "WAN & LAN IP Range Start" be the port number of the router, and the "IP Range End" be the number of my computer, like x.x.x.101? Does this sound correct?
