How to set up a NAT (Network Address Translation) for Bitcomet?

Question

This is straight from the bitcomet website.

3. Yellow

A yellow light means your client can reach other clients but other ones can not reach your client. Your can still download with BitComet in this case, but your speed can not be as high as in green light status.

The most possible reason of a yellow light status is that your pc is in an intranet. So you have to configure a NAT (Network Address Translation) for BitComet listening port on your gateway. Another reason is the firewall used by your system or your ISPs system blocked this port.

My router (wireless linksys) has no WEP protection on it, and my firewall was disable when setting it up and still is. So the solution must be the NAT.

Can someone give me directions or a link to directions that a 16 year old could understand? I'm good with computers but not real good. If it helps anything my computer is connected by ethernet and not a wireless connection.

Points to anyone that can help me out.
