cx Im seting up file sharing between my desktop (host cmputer) and my laptop
...I'm asked to insert external and internal port numbers. Are those the same
as the ones I have entered in my email setup??

No. Different application. If it's the file sharing built into the operating
system, you'll want to ask in a newsgroup about that OS.

You dont usually have to do anything with ports when setting up simple file
sharing
You should post to the networking group that supports your o/s or simply the
o/s group
