port forwarding problems with torrents and p2p clients?

I'm trying to use Azureus and Soulseek but when I test the various ports that I want to use, I get error messages, saying the port is closed/ can't be communicated with.

Before I got my new router I was never even aware of the existence of ports. P2P and torrents clients worked just fine. Do I need to set something up on the router page?

I feel as if I'm leaving out some vital details.... thanks
