I have a link in my signature for forwarding your ports through an XP firewall. That will leave the firewall on, but just allow your bittorrent client to get out through your specified ports.
Do you have a modem or router? Look up the model number on
portforward.com and that should help. You will need to either restart the computer or at least restart your torrent after whatever you do to not be firewalled.
Lastly, as Heather said, if you are at school or work, you may not be able to do anything about your firewall.
