I found that gnutella use following registered port at IANA.
gnutella-svc 6346/tcp gnutella-svc gnutella-svc 6346/udp gnutella-svc gnutella-rtr 6347/tcp gnutella-rtr gnutella-rtr 6347/udp gnutella-rtr what is difference between gnutella-svc and gnutella-rtr? |

There is none IMHO? It uses only one port, which can be any you want (not only 634x). Also gnutella does not use UDP.

The settings in Mactella ask for 4 ports: Network, Upload, Push Request, and Client. The defaults are 6346, 6345, 6344, and 6300 respectively.
LimeWire also asks for 2 different ports: the Listening Port, default 6355, and the Force Local IP, default 6346. So how many ports should I put in the router's NAT table for both servents to work properly? (not at the same time, of course) TIA |

Remember to set in the the Gnutella client the public IP of the router, not the private LAN address that the computer running the Gnutella has. |

Basically that's true, if the client does follow the Gnutella protocoll and uses only one port (e.g. TCP port 6346).
But I don't think that question is easy to answer, as long as we do not know what the purpose of those other ports is. I think the Unregistered misunderstood at least the meaning of the force_IP setting (which is no port number, but an IP-address used for sharing behind NAT routers/firewalls), actually Mactella describes various ports in the documentation. I asked the developers by email/PM and in their forum (Limewire, Mactella), got no answer. |

A developer of Limewire answered, so they also use 6346 as default port (if that port is already in use LimeWire scans for a free port incrementally from 6346 to 6356). Only one TCP port is used for listening.
What is the purpose of Mactella's 4 ports, It's a miracle. The developers didn't answer. |

Actually the difference between 6346 an 6347 is -1
I think you knew that already
