In Limewire version 4.18 Tools/Options/Advanced/Firewall I entered the same port number 6666 in both the "Listen on Port" and the "Manual Port Forward" option fill in boxes. Then in IPF rules added these 2 lines. pass out quick on $oif proto igmp from any to any keep state pass out quick on $oif proto tcp from any to any port = 6666 flags S keep state Each XP box on the lan running Limewire gets it's own unique port number and the corresponding firewall rule. No need for NAT RDR rules. Limewire works fine and my firewall is tight as every.
