+	<title>PORT FORWARDING</title>
+
+    <para>It is VERY important that Apt-P2P's ports be reachable by other peers.
+        This is needed both to share files with others, and to connect to
+        others through the DHT to find peers for files. If you aren't
+        accessible by others, you will not only not share anything, but your
+        performance during downloading will be affected.</para>
+
+    <para>Apt-P2P uses a default port of 9977, over both TCP and UDP, for it's
+        communication. You can change this port in the
+        /etc/apt-p2p/apt-p2p.conf file, and use different ports for TCP and
+        UDP, if desired. Whatever port you use, make sure to forward it
+        through your NAT or firewall to improve your performance and share
+        with others. Information on port forwarding can be found here:</para>
