It doesn't matter about your software firewall. you need to forward a listening port on your router's/gateway's firewall. Most routers have a feature called Upnp port forwarding, that will automatically open a port on the firewall if a client on the LAN requests it. Some routers now support NAT/PMP, which is an Apple technology.
If your router does not support this feature, just manually forward a port using this guide. Select your router from the list.

If you are using Windows or OS X, the client you should be using is uTorrent. You should be only forwarding one port TCP port and not a range of ports.

uTorrent also supports uTP protocol which can punch through a firewall. Use utorrent 2.0 Beta to get around persistent firewall issues
