	1[6]	1 Ports System Preferences - Firewall - Sharing	02-10-2006

This set of pictures shows how to access the details of your Mac's Firewall and therefore potential Port settings.

This picture shows that "Sharing" gets highlighted by the time you have typed the whole of the word Firewall into the Search field. (We are going to System Preferences > Sharing > FIrewall Tab and this demonstrates how you can look for it).

To get to this Screen (above) means using the option in the Apple Menu in the Menu Bar or the System Preferences icon in the DOCK (the pic is from Leopard but should be the same or similar in earlier versions of the OS).
