Am I Really Firewalled? (yes I read the FAQ)

I can't find the answer to this, so here goes: I just switched from DSL to cable last week. This site gave me the "Firewalled" hairy eyeball. I read stuff here, googled around, and changed my port based on what I read. Checked it out on CanYouSeeMe.org, and everything was cool. This was earlier today. I go to the torrent I'm trying to d/l (10/31/80 GD DVD), and it shows me as a peer. My name is NOT in red. All seems good. Tonight, me and the other seeders are all stuck at the same % Complete, I have the FIREWALL in red under my name, and when I check peers on the torrent, my port (43192) shows up in red.

I haven't had any trouble at other sites like etree or shnflac.org. Am I firewalled here? Why did I go from ok this morning (after switching ports) to Firewalled tonight? How do I fix this? I want to be able to give back after I d/l this, and want others to be able to connect to me and vice versa.

I am using a Netgear CG814WG v2 router. Thanks!
