i had the same problem when i first installed my belkin wirelles router..
after some searching on google i found that by opening port 6881 on the router i was able to use the bit torrent application Azureus.
can open the port by typing 192.168.2.1 into the address bar in internet explorer.. then going for the Initial Setup option (or similar, depending on the router model) then Special Application Port and entering 6881 into the Trigger and Public port boxes.
you can also put the pc outside the routers firewall from here... on the DMZ page... but as stated by david above...this will leave the pc open to attacks..but may be worth trying temporarily to see if resolves your problem
