Port Forwarding Soulseek on the Apple AirPortExtreme
Soulseek picks a random port, and uses that port to transmit data. Before we can forward ports for Soulseek, we need to find out which port to forward. Go ahead and open up Soulseek now.
In the menu at the top of your screen, click Options. This will drop down a submenu. In this menu click the General Options link.
The port in the Listening Port box, is the port that Soulseek is using. You can change this port to whatever you like, or you can just leave it set like it is. Please enter that port number into the following box.
