ok, I am on a G4ibook and I need to do something about opening TCP and UDP connections. I have Sharing opened in System Preferences, but I do not know where to find a port # which I am being asked to test to make sure said TCP and UDPs are open. Help?
And we live to fight another day.

All is well that ends in pizza.
What version of OSX is it? You should be able to gget somewhere clicking on "Firewall"
I'd check it, but I have something wrong with mine on 10.3.x...
Hmmm, does this help? [link]

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Sometimes the Help menu or online support area of whatever app you're trying to use will let you know which port range the app defaults to.

When I try to test the TCP ports on the app, I get NAT Error.

If this is the app I think it is, you need to enable port forwarding on the range of ports you're allowing it to use.
On my setup, it's done through the router settings, which means going to 192.168.1.1 in a browser window, and into the "Forwarding" tab under Advanced Settings. Put in the port numbers you want to enable, tick both the "TCP" and "UDP" boxes, enter your computer's IP address*, and then tick "enable" and hit the "apply" button.
*You can find this by going to "About This Mac" under the apple menu in the Finder, and then clicking the "More Info" button. When the System Profiler comes up, look under "Network".

I sympathize. I still haven't been able to solve the NAT errors Azureus gives me. Pisses me off that in this one area my Windows box seems smarter than my Mac. I don't have to do anything special with it. On the other hand, it might be because Windows tends to be more lax with security...

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Firefox 1.5.0.2 is out.
