Bit Torrent and Router Firewalls

[Chux]

I'm using Shadow's Bit Torrent, and I constantly get the yellow light (Meaning my firewall is keeping me from getting a prime connection) I'm using a linksys wireless router, and I was wondering if anybody knows the port I need to allow, and how to do it.

I was just cheking this out earlier:

I'm behind a firewall/NAT, can I use BitTorrent?

Yes, but you will get better performance if other peers can connect to you. By default, BitTorrent listens on port 6881, trying incrementially higher ports if it's unable to bind, and gives up after 6889 (the port range is configurable). It's up to you to figure out how to poke a hole in your firewall/NAT.
