Use the options panel and select:

1) "Advanced/Firewall": define the port on the firewall to use on the Internet for incoming connections.

2) Advanced/Port: define the port to listen locally on your host:
- If your firewall allows "port forwarding" (i.e. basic NAT, involving only the translation of your host address on the LAN), this should be the same value as the one defined in Advanced/Firewall. This case is the most common.

- If your firewall performs port translation (PAT), the port to enter here is the port on your local host that LimeWire is listening. The firewall will detect the incoming connection on the "Advanced/Firewall" port, and will associate it to your host on the LAN, and then will translate the address from the firewall address to your local host IP address, and will translate the port number coming from Internet to your firewall, into the port number specified in your firewall settings. LimeWire needs then to have two distinct ports configured in that case.

So if your firewalls allows connections to your host only on some specific ports, you must configure LimeWire to use on of the available ports.

In addition LimeWire supports now connections through SOCKS v4/V5 proxies (Limewire supports local user authentication on SOCKS proxies), and through HTTP proxies (only with the common "CONNECT" method, but for now Limewire does not implement local user authentication on HTTP proxies).
