Do you have a hardware router for your internet connection ? If so, is it bridged or not ? If not, you will have to enable port forwarding for the ports used by your torrent program. You will have to read your manual to find out how to do this for your router.

You have to configure the router to forward the bittorrent port number to the computer.
