bit torrent client? Firewalled

hi have been somewhat familiar with bit torrents for a while.
I recently
1. switched to a client manager called bit torrent
2. also I recently switched to norton antivirus


I was consistantly getting Norton popups talking about a computer trying to gain access to my computer (but I think maybe it was others on the torrent at the time??)

now when I come to this site I see FIREWALLED listed under my name (never saw this before when I had Freeom firewall and Bit Tornado)
I even shut off both my winXP and norton firewall and it still shows. I am not even DLing a show and it says FIREWALLED. I looked through the article on port forwarding and got lost, I have no router. I have cable wire to moden to ethernet card. My modem is a Terayan (adelphia).......

could the client manager be the problem, or is there a fix for norton?

some insight would be great
thanks

I just hopped over to bt.etree and started a torrent and I do not show up there as firewalled.......
