port is closed (red) HELP!!!!!!!!

[ezenuf]

I AM NOT A TECHIE GUY. I AM A 62 YEAR OLD GUY who can't open his port. I have been using Transmission for 3 years without a problem. Yesterday I updated to 1.82 and port will not reopen. I have gone back to 1.81 and port is still closed.
Pertinent Info:
Mac Version 10.6.2
Router: Linksys WRT610N- everything else works fine.
Checked out all settings on router, even went to Port Fowarding.com and downloaded their handy-dandy PF Config program- a waste of $30.00 US. Nothing is wrong. Talked to Apple, all machine settings are correct.

I am not a techie, so if you reply please do not reply in techspeak- English is hard enough for me!

One of my peer to peer sharing sights also is telling me that my port is closed- will throw me out in a couple of days, if i can't clear problem. Don't know what to do. Feel like I am in a roundabout without an off ramp.

Thanks in advance folks. Please help!!!!!

I am having the same problem. Running Mac OS 10.4.1 and can't get transmission to work, have tried past several versions of Transmission includin 1.75, which says it can't run with my version of OSX, and 1.54...
