Netgear RT314 Irregularity

[SharkB8]

Here's a question. I used to have to go in and open up port 6699 in my Netgear RT314 to make Napster work on my system but now all of a sudden I don't have to. This concerns me. The only thing I have changed on my system is that I configured as a Network Server rather than a Home PC in Settings->System->Performance->File System. I am running WIN98SE. Even after configuring it back to a Home PC and rebooting I can still open Napster without having to open up port 6699. Is this a problem or something to be concerned about or not?

By default my RT314 allowed my Napster to work without opening any ports.

Napster will work behind routers and firewalls unless you are trying to connect to someone else behind a firewall or router. Forward the port anyway to make sure you can connect to everyone.
