This is completely normal.  Your firewall should allow (and forward if
necessary) traffic on the TCP port, as well as the UDP port TCP+4 to
mldonkey.  What makes you say that mldonkey doesn't seem to listen on
that port?  And what OS are you running mldonkey with?

'netstat -lp' should show (among other things)

tcp  0 0 *:4682  *:*  LISTEN  5019/mlnet
udp  0 0 *:4686  *:*          5019/mlnet

or something similar (my edonkey tcp port is set to 4682).  If not,
something is busted.
