All of a sudden I am firewalled...

A little while ago I logged into tradersden and in the top right hand corner under my name and stats it said FIREWALLED in capital letters... I use Bit Tornado and I have green lights. I use XP with no router, and have made no change in my settings. My windows XP built in firewall is disabled, I use McAffee personal firewall, and I have Bit Tornado (and U-Torrent) set to "allow full access." I already checked the link for windows XP forwarding (http://www.portforward.com/help/per...owssp2port.htm). My port range is 6881 thru 6889 and am unsure of what to forward them to when following the how-to guide link noted above.

I restarted my torrents... Now, when I go to thetradersden.org it no longer says FIREWALLED under my name in the top right hand corner. However, if I click on the peerlist it does still show my name in red... But my upload speed is comparable to, or better than, the other peers listed (none of whom are firewalled); and my Bit Tornado is still showing a green light.... Am I truly firewalled? Any help or suggestions appreciated.

One other bit of weirdness. Roughly 45 minutes ago I completely closed my window for Garcia/Grisman 1991 DVD (http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ad.php?t=22212); and just now I completely restarted my computer and have no torrents running yet my name is still listed, in red, on the peer list. Update: It eventually did dissappear from the peerlist. I still have the same firewall problem though when I restarted it.

Again, any help or suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
