I have posted on other forums but no one had anything constructive to offer, hopefully you guys can help me.....

OK heres my problem:

I am on a network between myself my younger bro and my older bro, my older bro is the one who has the direct connection to the internet through a cable modem and myself and my younger brother leech off his connection through windows connection sharing.
Now ive just started to use "Emule" and am getting the dreaded "Low ID" tag

. Someone told me that i need to forward ports off my older bro (Who has the direct connection) to my computer to get a high ID. Ive downloaded AnalogX's port mapper and installed it on his computer and filled out the required info (e.g. my i.p, which ports to share" etc).
But at the mo i am currently stuck, it asks for me to fill out a box "Enter target (I.e localhost)". Do any of you know what this means, if so can you tell me what to put?

Thanks in advance!
