Automatic Port Forwarding
When I was poking around at my routers configuration I noticed that there was some ports being forwarded for limewire. I did not put them in there and I was wondering how they got there. When I was installing Limewire the windows firewall asked me if I wanted to open the ports and I clicked yes. Does the Windows Xp firewall pass this request on to the router?

Thanks for the information. It seems that this was the problem. I have gone into the configureation for my router and turned this off.

I personally consider UPnP a bit worrisome, and would prefer to have to make port forwarding changes manually in the router.
