Thank you for the solution to this problem.

I was un-aware Limewire had it's own firewall configuration options.
In Limewire version 4.18 Tools/Options/Advanced/Firewall I entered the 
same port number 6666 in both the "Listen on Port" and the "Manual Port 
Forward" option fill in boxes.  Then in IPF rules added these 2 lines.

pass out quick on $oif proto igmp from any to any keep state
pass out quick on $oif proto tcp  from any to any port = 6666 flags S 
keep state

Each XP box on the lan running Limewire gets it's own unique port number 
and the corresponding firewall rule. No need for NAT RDR rules.
Limewire works fine and my firewall is tight as every.
