Napster uses port 6699 by default, however it will jump to other ports
if it finds 6699 blocked. Probably a better idea is to leave port 6699
open, but configure a bandwidth limit on that port in the router. That
way Napster won't jump to another port but its traffic use will be
limited to what you think is a reasonable amount.
